Differential contribution of the three Aph1 genes to γ-secretase activity <i>in vivo</i>
21 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Gamma-secretase is the protease responsible for amyloid beta peptide release and is needed for Notch, N-Cadherin, and possibly other signaling pathways. The protease complex consists of at least four subunits, i.e., Presenilin, Aph1, Pen2, and Nicastrin. Two different genes encode Aph1A and Aph1B in man. A duplication of Aph1B in rodents has given rise to a third gene, Aph1C. Different mixes of gamma-secretase...
