1. Studies on gamma-secretase activity and products
Abstract : gamma-Secretase is a transmembrane aspartyl protease involved in processing of a multitude of functionally diverse substrates within their transmembrane domains. gamma-Secretase cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates the APP intracellular domain (AICD) and the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta).

2. Identification and investigation of gamma-secretase associated proteins from brain
Abstract : Alzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia. The pathological hallmarks in the AD brain are extracellular deposition of amyloid plaques, mainly composed of the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ), and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles made of hyperphosphorylated tau.

3. Alzheimer disease : studies on Abeta and gamma-secretase in human brain
Abstract : Alzheimer disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder and the most prevalent form of dementia. One hallmark of the disease is the extracellular deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) into senile plaques in the brain. Biochemical and genetic studies reveal Abeta as a key player in AD pathogenesis. READ MORE

4. The Alzheimer’s disease related gamma-secretase complex : localization and novel interacting proteins
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by synaptic and neuronal loss in the brain that eventually results in cognitive decline. Characteristic hallmarks of AD are senile plaques containing the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) and neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau protein. READ MORE

5. Alzheimer disease associated Abeta and gamma-secretase : mitochondrial localization and involvement in cell death
Abstract : In several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD), protein aggregation is accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. An increasing number of proteins found in mitochondria have multiple localizations. READ MORE
