TMP21 Antibody: p23, TMP21, S31I125, Tmp-21-I, S31III125, P24(DELTA), Transmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein 10, 21 kDa transmembrane-trafficking protein
Product description
TMP21 Antibody: TMP21 is a ubiquitously expressed protein that is involved in vesicular targeting and protein transport. More recent experiments have shown that it is also a component in the presenilin complex and modulates the gamma-secretase but not the epsilon-secretase cleavage activity of the amyloid precursor protein. The presenilin complex is composed of the proteins APH1, nicastrin, and PEN2 in addition to presenilin-1. Together, these proteins cleave the amyloid precursor protein at what is known as the gamma- and epsilon-sites and can lead to the accumulation of the Abeta cleavage product that is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments using antibodies against these proteins also yielded TMP21 indicating that TMP21 may play a role in the regulation of this complex. Suppression of TMP21 expression by siRNA in transfected cells caused increased gamma-secretase activity but not epsilon-secretase activity, and increased Abeta; production, demonstrating that TMP21 can modulate gamma-secretase activity.1) Blunt R, Feick P, Puype M, et al. Tmp21 and p24A, two type I proteins enriched in pancreatic microsomal membranes, are members of a protein family involved in vesicular trafficking. J. Biol. Chem.1996; 271:17183-9.
