This gene encodes a Type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is an integral component of the multimeric gamma-secretase complex. The encoded protein cleaves integral membrane proteins, including Notch receptors and beta-amyloid precursor protein, and may be a stabilizing cofactor required for gamma-secretase complex assembly. The cleavage of beta-amyloid precursor protein yields amyloid beta peptide, the main component of the neuritic plaque and the hallmark lesion in the brains of patients with Alzheimer′s disease; however, the nature of the encoded protein′s role in Alzheimer′s disease is not known for certain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full-length nature has not been determined. (provided by RefSeq)
