Isolation and characterization of Drosophila presenilin homolog
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
Presenilin-1 (PS1) and presenilin-2 (PS2) are associated with a majority of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Sequence analysis of PS1/2 has revealed integral transmembrane proteins which are highly homologous to the protein coded by sel-12, a Caenorhabditis elegans gene involved in the lin-12/Notch signaling pathway. The normal function of PS1/2, as well as the pathogenesis caused by mutations of...
