Abstract excerpt
Gamma-secretase is a unique protease which cleaves within the transmembrane domain of several substrate proteins. Among gamma-secretase substrates are members of the Notch family of receptors and the amyloid precursor protein. In this study we used a cell-free Notch-cleavage assay and specific gamma-secretase inhibitors to study the cleavage of Notch by gamma-secretase. Using this assay, we found that, in...
