Presenilin-2 and Calcium Handling: Molecules, Organelles, Cells and Brain Networks [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Presenilin-2 (PS2) is one of the three proteins that are dominantly mutated in familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). It forms the catalytic core of the γ-secretase complex—a function shared with its homolog presenilin-1 (PS1)—the enzyme ultimately ...

Presenilin 2 overexpression is associated with apoptosis in Neuro2a cells [PDF]
Translational Neuroscience, 2016 Presenilin 1 (PS1) and PS2 are evolutionarily conserved transmembrane proteins of the aspartyl protease family. Initially, they were reported to be associated with the early onset of familial, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Discovery of novel benzophenone integrated derivatives as anti-Alzheimer's agents targeting presenilin-1 and presenilin-2 inhibition: A computational approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The most commonly accepted hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the amyloid hypothesis caused due to formation of accumulation of Aβ42 isoform, which leads to neurodegeneration.

Presenilin 2 N141I mutation induces hyperactive immune response through the epigenetic repression of REV-ERBα [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Hyperimmunity is associated with Alzheimer disease. Here the authors show that the Presenilin 2 N141I mutation causes overproduction of clock-controlled cytokines and memory deficits through suppression of REV-ERBα gene by hypermethylation.

Loosening ER–Mitochondria Coupling by the Expression of the Presenilin 2 Loop Domain [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Presenilin 2 (PS2), one of the three proteins in which mutations are linked to familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD), exerts different functions within the cell independently of being part of the γ-secretase complex, thus unrelated to toxic amyloid peptide ...

The zebrafish orthologue of familial Alzheimer's disease gene PRESENILIN 2 is required for normal adult melanotic skin pigmentation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of age-related dementia. At least 15 mutations in the human gene PRESENILIN 2 (PSEN2) have been found to cause familial Alzheimer's disease (fAD).
