What Does PS1 Stand For?

PS1 stands for Presenilin 1

Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a crucial protein involved in the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and is a key component of the gamma-secretase complex. Mutations in the PS1 gene are associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease, highlighting its role in neural health and disease. PS1 is implicated in various cellular processes, including cell signaling and apoptosis, making it an important focus in Alzheimer's research and neurobiology.
