特徴

• Presenilin Enhancer 2 (PEN2) is a small integral membrane glycoprotein that contains two recognized transmembrane domains.
• Both the N- and C-terminal domains are oriented into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (1).
• PEN2, along with Presenilin 1, Presenilin 2, Nicastrin, and APH-1 form the protein complex y-secretase (2).
• The proteinase BACE catalyses the initial step in APP processing by cleaving and releasing soluble APPb (3).
• The remaining membrane bound APP is then cleaved by the y-secretase complex, causing the release of amyloid b-peptide, the main constituent of amyloid plaques.
• These plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease pathology (2).
• In addition to APP, the y-secretase complex cleaves several other proteins and necessary presenilin-dependent signaling cascades, including the Notch pathway (4).
• It was found that PEN2 is an important part of the y-secretase complex, and knocking it down results in reduced amounts of the complex, resulting in a loss of y-secretase activity (5).
