Scientific Background: | PEN2, in addition to nicastrin, presenilin, and APH-1, forms the gamma-secretase protein complex, a membrane-bound aspartyl protease that can cleave certain proteins at peptide bonds buried within the hydrophobic environment of the lipid bilayer. This cleavage is thought to be required for the generation of neurotoxic amyloid peptides that are central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease. Gamma- secretase will cleave the amyloid precursor protein (APP) within the intramembrane region, resulting in either the nontoxic p3 (from the alpha and gamma cleavage site) or the toxic Abeta amyloid peptide (from the beta and gamma cleavage site). |
