Descriptor presenilinas
Scope note: Proteínas integrales de membrana y componentes esenciales del complejo gamma-secretasa que cataliza las proteínas de membrana tales como los precursores de los RECEPTORES NOTCH y de la PROTEÍNA BETA AMILOIDE. Las mutaciones de las presenilinas llevan a la ENFERMEDAD DE ALZHEIMER presenil, con comienzo antes de los 65 años de edad.
