Psenen Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable endopeptidase activator activity and enzyme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including amyloid-beta formation; positive regulation of endopeptidase activity; and proteolysis. Is active in presynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hidradenitis suppurativa. Orthologous to human PSENEN (presenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Psenen often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
