Nicastrin is a transmembrane glycoprotein serving as an essential component of the gammasecretase complex (1,2).
Nicastrin protein is physically associated with presenilin and plays an important role in stabilization and correct localization of presenilin to the membrane-bound gamma-secretase complex (3).
Nicastrin also serves as a docking site for gamma-secretase substrates such as APP and Notch, by directly binding to them and presenting them properly to gammasecretase to ensure the correct cleavage process (2,4).
