PMID: 12198112 by Steiner H., et al. PEN-2 is an integral component of the gamma-secretase complex required for coordinated expression of presenilin and nicastrin.
PMID: 12110170 by Francis R., et al. aph-1 and pen-2 are required for Notch pathway signaling, gamma- secretase cleavage of betaAPP, and presenilin protein accumulation.
