Presenilin 2 Antibody

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.
