Pathological activity of familial Alzheimer’s disease-associated mutant presenilin can be executed by six different γ-secretase complexes
γ-Secretase is a protease complex, which catalyzes the final of two subsequent cleavages of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. In human cells, six γ-secretase complexes exist, which are composed of either p...
