Abstract excerpt
Familial Alzheimer disease (FAD) is linked to mutations in the presenilin (PS) homologs. FAD mutant PS expression has several cellular consequences, including exaggerated intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling due to enhanced agonist sensitivity and increased magnitude of [Ca(2+)](i) signals. The mechanisms underlying these phenomena remain controversial. It has been proposed that PSs are constitutively...
