Contribution of the Presenilins in the cell biology, structure and function of γ-secretase.
Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 γ-Secretase cleavage is essential for many biological processes and its dysregulation is linked to disease, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, understanding the regulation of its activity is of major importance to improve drug design ...

δ-secretase in neurodegenerative diseases: mechanisms, regulators and therapeutic opportunities
Translational Neurodegeneration, 2020 Mammalian asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) is a cysteine protease that cleaves its protein substrates on the C-terminal side of asparagine residues. Converging lines of evidence indicate that AEP may be involved in the pathogenesis of several neurological ...

Intramembrane Proteolysis by γ-Secretase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Gamma-secretase mediates the final proteolytic cleavage, which liberates amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), the major component of senile plaques in the brains of Alzheimer disease patients. Therefore, gamma-secretase is a prime target for Abeta-lowering therapeutic strategies.
