Abstract excerpt
The presenilin/gamma-secretase protease cleaves many type-I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) precursor (APP). Previous studies have shown that apoptosis induces alterations in Abeta production in a caspase-dependent manner. Here, we report that staurosporine (STS)-ind...
