Gene Information

human ... NCSTN(23385)

General description

Nicastrin (NCSTN) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, that is located on chromosome 1q23.

Immunogen

a 18 amino acid peptide from near the center of human Nicastrin.

Application

Anti-Nicastrin has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nicastrin (NCSTN) helps in the assembly of γ-secretase complex. It is associated with Alzheimer′s disease.

Linkage

The action of this antibody can be blocked using blocking peptide SBP3985.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

Synaptic loss strongly correlates with memory deterioration. Local accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, and neurotoxic Aβ42 in particular, due to abnormal neuronal activity may underlie synaptic dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and memory impairments. To gain an insight into molecular events underlying
