PSEN1
Presenilin-1 (PS-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PSEN1'' gene. Presenilin 1 is one of the four core proteins in presenilin complex, which mediate the regulated proteolytic events of several proteins in the cell, including gamma secretase. Gamma-secretase is considered to play a very important role in generation of beta amyloid, accumulation of which is related to the onset of Alzheimer's Disease, from the beta-amyloid precursor protein. == Structure ==
Presenilin possesses a 9 transmembrane topology, with an extracellular C-terminus and a cytosolic N-terminus. Presenilin is subject to undergo endo-proteolytic processing to produce ~27-28 kDa N-terminal and ~16-17 kDa C-terminal fragments in humans. Furthermore, presenilin exists in the cell mainly as a heterodimer of the C-terminal and N-terminus fragments.〔 When presenilin 1 is over expressed, the full length protein accumulates in an inactive form. Based on evidence that a gamma-secretase inhibitor binds to the fragments, the cleaved presenilin complex is considered to be the active form.
