Abstract excerpt
Mutations in genes encoding presenilin-1 (PS-1) and presenilin-2 (PS-2) cause many cases of autosomal dominant inherited forms of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). PSs are expressed in neurons throughout the nervous system, with differences in abundance among cell populations. PS-1 and PS-2 each have six to eight transmembrane domains and are localized mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). PSs may...
