General description

Presenilin is a probable catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (beta-amyloid precursor protein). Presenilin requires the other members of the gamma-secretase complex to have a protease activity. It may play a role in intracellular signaling and gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane. The gamma-secretase complex stimulates cell-cell adhesion through its association with the E-cadherin/catenin complex. Under conditions of apoptosis or calcium influx, it cleaves E-cadherin promoting the disassembly of the E-cadherin/catenin complex and increasing the pool of cytoplasmic beta-catenin, thus negatively regulating Wnt signaling. Futher researcher may implicate the complex in hematopoiesis. Defects in PSEN1 have been implicated in early-onset Alzheimer disease type 3 (AD3) and late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD).

Application

Anti-Presenilin-1 Antibody, loop, a.a. 263-378, C-terminus, clone PS1-loop detects level of Presenilin-1 & has been published & validated for use in IC, IH(P), IP & WB.
Immunocytochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in IC.Acetone or methanol fixed cells; or lightly fixed 2.5-3% PFA (5-10′ RT).

Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot was used on 3% paraformaldehyde fixed tissue. Works on paraffin embedded tissue sections if fixed with PLP, acetone or other light fixations; 10% formalin fixation is untested.

Immunoprecipitation:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in IP.

Western blot:
Recognizes a protein of approximately 18-20 kD, and occasionally there is a doublet (the top band of which is phosphorylated).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user

One characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease is the deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) as amyloid plaques within specific regions of the human brain. Abeta is derived from the amyloid beta-peptide precursor protein (beta-APP) by the intramembranous cleavage activity of gamma-secretase.
