Product overview
Human Presenilin 2/AD5 ELISA Kit (ab277476) is an in-vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human Presenilin 2/AD5 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human Presenilin 2/AD5 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Human Presenilin 2/AD5 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Human Presenilin 2/AD5 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human Presenilin 2/AD5 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Research areas

Function
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). Requires the other members of the gamma-secretase complex to have a protease activity. May play a role in intracellular signaling and gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane. May function in the cytoplasmic partitioning of proteins. -
Tissue specificity
Isoform 1 is seen in the placenta, skeletal muscle and heart while isoform 2 is seen in the heart, brain, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in PSEN2 are the cause of Alzheimer disease type 4 (AD4) [MIM:606889]. AD is an autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease. Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, loss of cognitive abilities, and deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins as intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, extracellular amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits. The major constituent of these plaques is the neurotoxic amyloid-beta-APP 40-42 peptide (s), derived proteolytically from the transmembrane precursor protein APP by sequential secretase processing. The cytotoxic C-terminal fragments (CTFs) and the caspase-cleaved products such as C31 derived from APP, are also implicated in neuronal death.
Defects in PSEN2 are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1V (CMD1V) [MIM:613697]. It is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase A22A family. -
Domain
The PAL motif is required for normal active site conformation. -
Post-translational
modificationsHeterogeneous proteolytic processing generates N-terminal and C-terminal fragments.
