Abstract excerpt
APH-1, presenilin, nicastrin, and Pen-2 are proteins with varying membrane topologies that compose the gamma-secretase complex, which is responsible for the intramembrane proteolysis of several substrates including the amyloid precursor protein. APH-1 is known to be necessary for gamma-secretase activity, but its precise function in the complex is not fully understood, and its membrane topology has not been...
