Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 1 and 2 (PS) are critical components of the gamma-secretase complex that cleaves type I transmembrane proteins within their transmembrane domains. This process leads to release of proteolytically processed products from cellular membranes and plays an essential role in signal transduction or vital functions as cell adhesion. Here we studied the function of presenilins in cell-matrix interaction of...
