Abstract excerpt
Presenilin (PS)1 and its mutants, which consist of the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments, cause certain familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Our earlier studies found that FAD-linked M146L-PS1 causes neuronal cell death through nitrogen oxide synthase (NOS) and that FAD-linked N141I-PS2...
