Abstract excerpt
Mutations in genes encoding presenilin-1 (PS1) and presenilin-2 (PS2) have been linked to familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cells expressing mutant presenilins produce elevated levels of Abeta42, the major amyloid peptide found in AD plaques. The mechanism whereby this occurs remains unknown, but the localization of presenilins to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi compartments has suggested that they...
