Abstract excerpt
In neurons, Presenilin 1(PS1)/gamma-secretase is located at the synapses, bound to N-cadherin. We have previously reported that N-cadherin-mediated cell-cell contact promotes cell-surface expression of PS1/gamma-secretase. We postulated that N-cadherin-mediated trafficking of PS1 might impact syn...
