Complex Regulation of gamma-Secretase: from Obligatory to Modulatory Subunits
gamma-Secretase is a four subunit, 19-pass transmembrane enzyme that cleaves amyloid precursor protein, catalyzing the formation of amyloid beta peptides that form amyloid plaques, which contribute to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. gamma-Secretase also cleaves Notch, among many other type I trans...
