Contrasting Role of Presenilin-1 and Presenilin-2 in Neuronal DifferentiationIn Vitro [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 Presenilin-1 (PS1) and presenilin-2 (PS2), the major genes of familial Alzheimer’s disease, are homologous tosel-12, aCaenorhabditis elegansgene involved in cell fate decision during development. Recently, wild-type and mutant presenilins have been associated also with apoptotic cell death.

Cellular functions of gamma-secretase-related proteins [PDF]
, 2006 Amyloid-beta pepticle (A beta) is generated by gamma-secretase, a membrane protein complex with an unusual aspartyl protease activity consisting of the four components presenilin, nicastrin, APH-1 and PEN-2. Presenilin is considered the catalytic subunit

The role and therapeutic targeting of α-, β- and γ-secretase in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2015 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and its prevalence is set to increase rapidly in coming decades. However, there are as yet no available drugs that can halt or even stabilize disease progression. One of the main

Nuclear translocation and signalling of L1-CAM in human carcinoma cells requires ADAM10 and presenilin/gamma-secretase activity [PDF]
, 2009 L1-CAM (L1 cell-adhesion molecule), or more simply L1, plays an important role in the progression of human carcinoma. Overexpression promotes tumour-cell invasion and motility, growth in nude mice and tumour metastasis.

Tau is central in the genetic Alzheimer-frontotemporal dementia spectrum [PDF]
, 2005 In contrast to the common and genetically complex senile form of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the molecular genetic dissection of inherited presenile dementias has given important mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of degenerative brain disease ...

Chromosome Missegregation and Trisomy 21 Mosaicism in Alzheimer's Disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 1999 A connection between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is indicated by the fact that all Down syndrome individuals develop Alzheimer's disease neuropathology by the 4th decade of life. Previous studies have examined the frequency of

Presenilin 1 Protein Directly Interacts with Bcl-2 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Presenilin proteins are involved in familial Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by massive death of neurons. We describe a direct interaction between presenilin 1 (PS1) and Bcl-2, a key factor in the regulation of apoptosis, by yeast two-hybrid interaction system, by co-immunoprecipitation, and by cross-linking experiments.

Presenilin 2 is the predominant γ-secretase in microglia and modulates cytokine release. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Presenilin 1 (PS1) and Presenilin 2 (PS2) are the enzymatic component of the γ-secretase complex that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide.
