Presenilin Proteins Undergo Heterogeneous Endoproteolysis between Thr291and Ala299and Occur as Stable N- and C-Terminal Fragments in Normal and Alzheimer Brain Tissue

Presenilin Proteins Undergo Heterogeneous Endoproteolysis between Thr291and Ala299and Occur as Stable N- and C-Terminal Fragments in Normal and Alzheimer Brain Tissue

Humans inheriting missense mutations in thepresenilin(PS)1 and -2 genes undergo progressive cerebral deposition of the amyloid β-protein at an early age and develop a clinically and pathologically severe form of familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Because PS1 mutations cause the most aggressive...
