The presenilins (PS-1 and PS-2) are 2 members of a novel family of genes encoding integral membrane proteins recently implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. To date, 43 mutations have been identified in PS-1 and 2 in PS-2 that lead to familial presenile AD (onset before age 65 years). The
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) helps transfer lipids from lipoprotein particles to cells. In the brain, LPL is present in Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid plaques. LPL binds apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipoprotein particles and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), an ApoE receptor. Since po
