Background
The γ secretase protease complex interacts with and cleaves intramembrane substrates as an essential function for regulation of intracellular signaling and cell-cell interactions. This multiprotein complex is comprised of four integral membrane proteins, Presenilin, Nicastrin, Aph-1, and PEN2, all of which are essential for complete proteolytic activity.<br>Presenilin 1 and presenilin 2 are transmembrane proteins belonging to the presenilin family. Nicastrin is a transmembrane glycoprotein serving as an essential component of the γ-secretase complex. Nicastrin protein is physically associated with presenilin and plays an important role in stabilization and correct localization of presenilin to the membrane-bound γ-secretase complex. Nicastrin also serves as a docking site for γ-secretase substrates such as APP and Notch, directly binding to them and presenting them properly to γ-secretase to ensure the correct cleavage process. Presenilin Enhancer 2 (PEN2) is an important part of the γ-secretase complex as its knock down results in reduced amounts of the complex, resulting in a loss of γ-secretase activity.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA722243) at 1/1,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature. -
Presenilin 2/AD5 was immunoprecipitated from 0.2 mg HeLa cell lysate with HA722243 at 2 µg/10 µl beads. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using HA722243 at 1/1,000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG for IP Nano-secondary antibody (NBI01H) at 1/5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human small intestine tissue using anti-Presenilin 1 antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 8.0-8.4) for 20 minutes.The tissues were blocked in 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA500219, 1/400) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
