Abstract excerpt
The role of presenilin-1 (PS1) in neuronal phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling was investigated in primary neuronal cultures from wild-type (WT) and PS1 null (PS1-/-) embryonic mouse brains. Here we show that in PS1-/- cultures, the onset of neuronal maturation coincides with a decrease in the PI3K-dependent phosphorylation-activation of Akt and phosphorylation-inactivation of glycogen synthase...
