Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the PSEN genes are the major cause of familial Alzheimer's disease, and presenilin (PS) is the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, which cleaves type I transmembrane proteins, including the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release Aβ peptides. While PS plays an essential role in the protection of neuronal survival, PSEN mutations also increase the ratio of Aβ42/Aβ40. Thus, it remains unresolved...
