Along with presenilin, APH-1, PEN-2, it comprises the multimeric gamma-secretase complex.
The gamma-secretase complex can cleave the beta-amyloid (A4) precursor protein and yields amyloid beta peptide, the main component of the neuritic plaque and the hallmark lesion in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Nicastrin is also thought to be involved in cell proliferation and signaling, especially in regards to activation of Notch receptors as loss of nicastrin expression results in mouse embryonic lethality.
