Western blot - Anti-Nicastrin antibody [EPR2575Y] - BSA and Azide free (AB247362)

This data was developed using ab68145, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68145 observed at 100-125 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 36 kDa.

ab68145 Anti-Nicastrin antibody [EPR2575Y] was shown to specifically react with Nicastrin in wild-type HEK293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266602 (knockout cell lysate ab258061) was used. Wild-type and Nicastrin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab68145 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Nicastrin also known as NAS is an integral component of the gamma-secretase complex. This protein interacts mechanically by assisting in substrate recognition and stabilization within the complex. Nicastrin has a molecular weight of approximately 75 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in various tissues including the brain where it plays significant role in neuronal functions.
Biological function summary

Nicastrin functions as a part of the gamma-secretase complex which also includes presenilin anterior pharynx defective 1 (APH-1) and presenilin enhancer 2 (PEN-2). This complex is essential for intramembrane proteolysis of type I membrane proteins such as amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Notch. The activity of nicastrin influences processes like synaptic organization and neuronal development.

Pathways

Gamma-secretase activity facilitated by nicastrin is central in the Notch signaling pathway and the amyloidogenic pathway. In the Notch pathway it helps release the Notch intracellular domain important for T-cell development. In the amyloidogenic pathway the complex processes APP contributing to amyloid-beta peptide formation. Beta-secretase (BACE1) also plays an important role in this pathway acting upstream of gamma-secretase.

The imbalance in nicastrin function connects it to Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers. Its role in amyloid-beta peptide production links nicastrin to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. In cancer the deregulation of Notch signaling in which nicastrin is involved influences tumor progression and survival. The interaction of nicastrin with presenilin is particularly notable in these conditions further emphasizing its significance in disease mechanisms.

Target data

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 (amyloid-beta precursor protein) (PubMed : 10993067, PubMed : 12679784, PubMed : 25043039, PubMed : 26280335, PubMed : 30598546, PubMed : 30630874). The gamma-secretase complex plays a role in Notch and Wnt signaling cascades and regulation of downstream processes via its role in processing key regulatory proteins, and by regulating cytosolic CTNNB1 levels.
