Application DetailsWB and ELISA. Suggested dilution of 1:1,000 to 1:4,000. To minimise background staining, a higher concentration of detergent (such as Tween-20) is suggested in the dilution and washing steps. Biosensis recommends that the optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundPresenilin-1 (PSEN1) is a multi-pass membrane protein and component of the gamma-secretase complex. PSEN1 is thought to play a role in intracellular signaling and gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane. It may also play a role in hematopoiesis. Defects in PSEN1 are a cause of Alzheimer disease type 3 (AD3), a familial early-onset form of Alzheimer disease (Ref:SWISS-Prot).
