These results demonstrated the localization of VDR on the neuronal plasma membrane and the co-localization of VDR and APP or ADAM10 or Nicastrin and limited co-localization of VDR and PS1.
Title: Vitamin D receptor is present on the neuronal plasma membrane and is co-localized with amyloid precursor protein, ADAM10 or Nicastrin.
Down-regulation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter 2 (Abca2) reduces amyloid-beta production by altering Nicastrin maturation and intracellular localization.
Title: Down-regulation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter 2 (Abca2) reduces amyloid-β production by altering Nicastrin maturation and intracellular localization.
At the cellular level, nicastrin is localized predominantly in neuronal cell bodies at early postnatal stages, but is apparent both in cell bodies and dendrites/neuropil in all brain regions at the later stages.
Title: Cellular distribution of gamma-secretase subunit nicastrin in the developing and adult rat brains.

Title: Nicastrin, presenilin, APH-1, and PEN-2 form active gamma-secretase complexes in mitochondria.
experiments establish amyloid precursor protein, nicastrin, and presenilin-1 as resident lysosomal membrane proteins and indicate that gamma-secretase is a lysosomal protease
Title: Presenilin-1, nicastrin, amyloid precursor protein, and gamma-secretase activity are co-localized in the lysosomal membrane.
The amount of presenilin-1 in the nucleus and membrane fraction was more abundantly expressed in the denervated muscle fibers. In contrast, no significant difference in the nicastrin protein level was observed between normal and denervated muscle fibers.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
