Gene information for PSENEN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55851
Official gene symbolPSENEN
Full namepresenilin enhancer 2 homolog (C. elegans)
Aliases,MDS033,MSTP064,PEN-2,PEN2,
Gene summaryPresenilins, which are components of the gamma-secretase protein complex, are required for intramembranous processing of some type I transmembrane proteins, such as the Notch proteins and the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Signaling by Notch receptors mediates a wide range of developmental cell fates. Processing of the beta-amyloid precursor protein generates neurotoxic amyloid beta peptides, the major component of senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. This gene encodes a protein that is required for Notch pathway signaling, and for the activity and accumulation of gamma-secretase. [provided by RefSeq]
