Ncstn

Contributes to aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amyloid precursor protein metabolic process; positive regulation of amyloid precursor protein biosynthetic process; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; lysosome; and synaptic vesicle. Part of gamma-secretase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and genitourinary system. Used to study chronic myeloid leukemia; schizophrenia; and urinary bladder cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; hidradenitis suppurativa; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human NCSTN (nicastrin).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ncstn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
