Abstract excerpt
The majority of cases with familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) are linked to mutations of the presenilin (PS) genes. These genes show considerable sequence similarity to the sel-12 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans, which has been postulated to function in the facilitated signalling by lin-12 and glp-1. In order to analyse the functional conservation of the presenilins, we introduced the human PS-1 cDNA, as well as...
