General description
A cell-permeable, reversible and selective peptidomimetic inhibitor of γ-secretase (IC50 = 13 µM for Aβ). Displays only weak inhibitory activity against calpain II (IC50 = 100 µM in a purified enzyme assay).
Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is batch-specific due to variable water content.

Glutamate uptake by high affinity glutamate transporters is essential for preventing excitotoxicity and maintaining normal synaptic function. We have discovered a novel role for presenilin-1 (PS1) as a regulator of glutamate transport. PS1-deficient neurons showed a decrease in glutamate uptake
