Abstract excerpt
Nicastrin, a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein, is a necessary component of the high molecular weight presenilin (PS) complexes that mediate intramembranous cleavage of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) and Notch. Nicastrin undergoes trafficking-dependent glycosylation maturation, and PS1...
