Background

Presenilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PSEN2 gene. Kovacs et al. (1996) demonstrated that the expression patterns of PS1 and PS2 in the brain are extremely similar to each other and that messages for both are primarily detectable in neuronal populations. Immunochemical analyses indicated that PS1 and PS2 are similar in size and localize to similar intracellular compartments (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex). Li et al. (1997) demonstrated that wildtype PS1 and PS2 are localized to the nuclear membrane, its associated interphase kinetochores, and the centrosomes.In melanocytic cells PSEN2 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Probable catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (beta-amyloid precursor protein). Requires the other members of the gamma-secretase complex to have a protease activity. May play a role in intracellular signaling and gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane. May function in the cytoplasmic partitioning of proteins. .

Components

Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
