Abstract excerpt
The gamma-secretase enzyme complex displays intramembrane catalytic activity toward many type I transmembrane proteins, including the Alzheimer-linked amyloid-beta-protein precursor (APP) and the neuregulin receptor ErbB4. Active gamma-secretase is a tetrameric protein complex consisting of presenilin-1 (or -2), nicastrin, PEN-2, and Aph-1a (or -1b). We have recently discovered that pharmacogenetically bred...
