Background: PEN2, in addition to presenilin, nicastrin, and APH-1 forms the γ-secretase protein complex, a membrane-bound aspartyl protease that can cleave certain proteins at peptide bonds buried within the hydrophobic environment of the lipid bilayer. This cleavage is responsible for a key step in signaling from several cell-surface receptors and is thought to be required for the generation of the neurotoxic amyloid peptides that are central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Like the tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme (TACE) and the β-site cleavage enzyme (BACE) protease families, γ-secretase will cleave the amyloid precursor protein (APP), but within the intramembrane region of APP, resulting in either the non-toxic p3 (from the α and γ cleavage site) or the toxic A?β amyloid peptide (from the β and γ cleavage site). It is thought that accumulation of the Aβ peptide is the precursor to Alzheimer's disease.Synonyms: Gamma-secretase subunit PEN-2, MDS033, PSENEN, Presenilin enhancer protein 2
