Function | Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (beta- amyloid precursor protein). It probably represents a stabilizing cofactor required for the assembly of the gamma-secretase complex. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Melanosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12643545, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11396676}. |
Top Pathways | Notch signaling pathway, Alzheimer's disease |
