Evidence for and against a pathogenic role for reduced γ-secretase activity in familial Alzheimer’s disease

The majority of mutations causing familial Alzheimer’s disease (fAD) have been found in the gene PRESENILIN1 (PSEN1 ) with additional mutations in the related gene PRESENILIN2 (PSEN2 ). The best characterized function of PRESENILIN (PSEN) proteins is in γ-secretase enzyme activity. One substrate of...
