Gamma-secretase is a membrane-bound aspartyl-protease that cleaves many membrane substrates including Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP), Notch, E-cadherin, Her4 and CD44. APP is a particularly notable substrate because of its association with Alzheimer disease. Together, gamma-secretase and beta-secre...
