Biochem/physiol Actions

Presenilin 2 (PSEN2; PS2; AD4) regulates the activity of γ-secretase, the enzyme that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP). Studies indicate that PSEN2 also might regulate the cleavage of Notch receptor that in turn regulates gamma-secretase activity. Presenilins regulate the release of neurotransmitters at the synapses and intracellular Ca+2 homeostasis. Mutations in gene encoding presenilins are linked to familial Alzheimer′s disease.

The discovery of monogenic forms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) associated with mutations within PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP genes is giving a big contribution in the understanding of the underpinning mechanisms of this complex disorder. Compared with sporadic form, the phenotype

The primary constituents of plaques (Aβ42/Aβ40) and neurofibrillary tangles (tau and phosphorylated forms of tau [ptau]) are the current leading diagnostic and prognostic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for AD. In this study, we performed deep sequencing of APP, PSEN1, PSEN2

Presenilin (PS) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and loss of PS causes progressive memory impairment and age-related neurodegeneration in the mouse cerebral cortex. In hippocampal neurons, PS is essential for neurotransmitter release, NMDA receptor-mediated responses
Tomoko Wakabayashi et al.
Physiology (Bethesda, Md.), 23, 194-204 (2008-08-14)
The presenilins in combination with other proteins generate different gamma-secretases, which are involved in the regulated intramembrane proteolysis of a variety of proteins. Understanding the specificity and regulation of these proteases will potentially lead to novel therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease

Journal of cell science, 132(5) (2019-02-03)
The metabolism of PI(3,5)P2 is regulated by the PIKfyve, VAC14 and FIG4 complex, mutations in which are associated with hypopigmentation in mice. These pigmentation defects indicate a key, but as yet unexplored, physiological relevance of this complex in the biogenesis
