Western blot - Anti-PEN2 antibody [EPR9200] (AB154830)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-PEN2 antibody [EPR9200] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab154830 was shown to bind specifically to PEN2. A band was observed at 12 kDa in wild-type HEK-293 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PSENEN knockout cell line ab273720 (knockout cell lysate ab273772). To generate this image, wild-type and PSENEN knockout HEK-293 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

PEN2 also known as Presenilin Enhancer 2 is a component of the gamma-secretase complex. It has a molecular mass of approximately 12 kDa. PEN2 is expressed in a variety of tissues including neuronal cells and across several cell lines like the HEK 293. This protein plays an essential mechanical role in stabilizing and activating the gamma-secretase complex which is necessary for its protease activity.
Biological function summary

PEN2 is an important element of the gamma-secretase complex composed of presenilin nicastrin APH-1 and PEN2. Its role involves the facilitation of proper maturation and assembly of the complex contributing to the proteolytic processing of several type I transmembrane proteins including the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Notch. PEN2 plays a part in these cellular processes by ensuring that the gamma-secretase complex functions correctly impacting cellular signaling and communication.

Pathways

Gamma-secretase activity where PEN2 is involved is central to the Notch signaling pathway and the amyloidogenic pathway. The Notch signaling pathway is fundamental in cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis and relies significantly on the function of the gamma-secretase complex. The amyloidogenic pathway involves the processing of APP to produce amyloid-beta peptides which PEN2's role in the gamma-secretase complex influences. Related proteins in these pathways include presenilin which is an active component in Notch and APP cleavage.

Mutations or dysregulation of PEN2 can have links to Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers. Alzheimer's disease is associated with the production of amyloid-beta peptides which accumulate into plaques a process influenced by PEN2 through gamma-secretase activity with APP. Dysregulated Notch signaling where PEN2 is involved is linked to various cancers due to its role in controlling cell fate decisions. PEN2's interactions with proteins like presenilin and APP highlight its potential impact on these conditions.

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 : 12522139, PubMed : 12679784, PubMed : 12740439, PubMed : 12763021, PubMed : 24941111, 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 (Probable). PSENEN modulates both endoproteolysis of presenilin and gamma-secretase activity (PubMed : 12522139, PubMed : 12679784, PubMed : 12740439, PubMed : 12763021, PubMed : 24941111).
