TMP21 is a ubiquitously expressed protein that is involved in vesicular targeting and protein transport.
More recent experiments have shown that it is also a component in the presenilin complex and modulates the y-secretase but not the e-secretase cleavage activity of the amyloid precursor protein.
The presenilin complex is composed of the proteins APH1, nicastrin, and PEN2 in addition to presenilin-1.
Together, these proteins cleave the amyloid precursor protein at what is known as the y- and e-sites and can lead to the accumulation of the Ab cleavage product that is associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Co-immunoprecipitation experiments using antibodies against these proteins also yielded TMP21 indicating that TMP21 may play a role in the regulation of this complex.
Suppression of TMP21 expression by siRNA in transfected cells caused increased y-secretase activity but not e-secretase activity, and increased Ab production, demonstrating that TMP21 can modulate y-secretase activity.
