Presenilin 1 often referred to as PS-1 is a protein with an important role in the function of gamma-secretase a multi-subunit protease complex. It weighs approximately 50 kDa and is widely expressed in different tissues especially in the brain. Presenilin 1 functions as part of the gamma-secretase complex which is responsible for processing several type I transmembrane proteins. This protein undergoes endoproteolytic processing to form an N-terminal and C-terminal fragment which are pivotal for its gamma-secretase activity./ Biological function summary/ Presenilin 1 plays a fundamental role in the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) within the transmembrane domain. This cleavage results in the formation of amyloid-beta peptides which are of significant interest in neurobiology. Presenilin 1 is an integral component of the gamma-secretase complex that includes nicastrin APH-1 and PEN-2. This complex involvement underlines the enzyme's importance in cell signaling pathways and modulation of synaptic functions. The functionality at the synaptic level is particularly important given its expression pattern and involvement in neural processes./
