• Background: Nicastrin (abbreviated NCT) is a protein that is part of the gamma secretase protein complex, which is one of the proteases involved in processing amyloid precursor protein (APP) to the short Alzheimer's disease-associated peptide amyloid beta. Nicastrin itself is not catalytically active, but instead promotes the maturation and proper trafficking of the other proteins in the complex, all of which undergo significant post-translational modification before becoming active in the cell. It has also been identified as a regulator of neprilysin, an enzyme involved in the degradation of amyloid beta fragment. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Nicastrin (656-676) amide coupled to a carrier protein.
• Synonyms: APH2; ATAG1874; KIAA0253; nicastrin
