Tag Info
N-terminal 10xHis-tagged
The tag type will be determined during production process. If you have specified tag type, please tell us and we will develop the specified tag preferentially.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C, for extended storage, conserve at -20°C or -80°C.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
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 (amyloid-beta precursor protein). The gamma-secretase complex plays a role in Notch and Wnt signaling cascades and regulation of downstream processes via its role in processing key regulatory proteins, and by regulating cytosolic CTNNB1 levels (Probable). PSENEN modulates both endoproteolysis of presenilin and gamma-secretase activity.
Gene References into Functions
Using knockout cell lines in combination with siRNA and immunoprecipitation approaches, our data clearly demonstrated that the Pen-2 and PS1 are sufficient to form a functionally active gamma-secretase that is capable of catalyzing the processing of Notch. This finding strongly suggests that Pen-2 is the most crucial component in gamma-secretase complex in addition to presenilin that functions as the catalytic subunit.PMID:28234257

Data show that the expression level of presenilin enhancer-2 (Pen-2) is relatively high in central nervous system at the early stages of postnatal development, but declines, gradually in adult mice.PMID:25736404
rather than solely being a catalyst for gamma-secretase endoproteolysis, Pen-2 may also stabilize the complex prior to PS1 endoproteolysis, allowing time for full assembly and proper trafficking.PMID:24941111
