Presenilin-2 dampens intracellular Ca2+ stores by increasing Ca2+ leakage and reducing Ca2+ uptake

We have previously shown that familial Alzheimer’s disease mutants of presenilin-2 (PS2) and, to a lesser extent, of presenilin-1 (PS1) lower the Ca2+ concentration of intracellular stores. We here examined the mechanism by which wild-type and mutant PS2 affect store Ca2+ handling. By using HeLa, SH...
