Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 709 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Sequence processing | The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Essential 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). It probably represents a stabilizing cofactor required for the assembly of the gamma-secretase complex. |
| Subunit structure | Component of the gamma-secretase complex, a complex composed of a presenilin homodimer (PSEN1 or PSEN2), nicastrin (NCSTN), APH1 (APH1A or APH1B) and PEN2. Such minimal complex is sufficient for secretase activity, although other components may exist. Binds to proteolytic processed C-terminal fragments C83 and C99 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). |
| Subcellular location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Potential. Melanosome. Note: Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. Ref.9 Ref.13 |
| Tissue specificity | Widely expressed. Ref.8 |
| Induction | Constitutively expressed in neural cells. Ref.8 |
| Involvement in disease | Familial acne inversa 1 (ACNINV1) [MIM:142690]: A chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the hair follicles characterized by recurrent draining sinuses, painful skin abscesses, and disfiguring scars. Manifestations typically appear after puberty. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the nicastrin family. |
