Nicastrin (NCSTN) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, that is located on chromosome 1q23.
Immunogen
a 18 amino acid peptide from near the center of human Nicastrin.
Application
Anti-Nicastrin has been used in western blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nicastrin (NCSTN) helps in the assembly of γ-secretase complex. It is associated with Alzheimer′s disease.
Linkage
The action of this antibody can be blocked using blocking peptide SBP3985.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

Identification of the novel activity-driven interaction between synaptotagmin 1 and presenilin 1 links calcium, synapse, and amyloid beta
Synaptic loss strongly correlates with memory deterioration. Local accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, and neurotoxic Aβ42 in particular, due to abnormal neuronal activity may underlie synaptic dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and memory impairments. To gain an insight into molecular events underlying
