presenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunit

The PSENEN gene provides instructions for making a protein called gamma-secretase subunit PEN-2 (shortened to PEN-2). This protein is one part (subunit) of a complex called gamma- (γ-) secretase. PEN-2 processes another subunit of the complex, presenilin 1, which is produced from the PSEN1 gene. This step is necessary for the γ-secretase complex to be functional.

The PSENEN gene provides instructions for making a protein called gamma-secretase subunit PEN-2 (shortened to PEN-2). This protein is one part (subunit) of a complex called gamma- (γ-) secretase. PEN-2 processes another subunit of the complex, presenilin 1, which is produced from the PSEN1 gene. This step is necessary for the γ-secretase complex to be functional.

The γ-secretase complex is located in the membrane that surrounds cells, where it cuts apart (cleaves) many different proteins that span the cell membrane (transmembrane proteins). This cleavage is an important step in several chemical signaling pathways that transmit signals from outside the cell into the nucleus. One of these pathways, known as Notch signaling, is essential for the normal maturation and division of hair follicle cells and other types of skin cells. Notch signaling is also involved in normal immune system function.
