Nectin-1α, an Immunoglobulin-like Receptor Involved in the Formation of Synapses, Is a Substrate for Presenilin/γ-Secretase-like Cleavage

Nectin-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a Ca 2+ -independent adherens junction protein involved in synapse formation. Here we show that nectin-1α undergoes intramembrane proteolytic processing analogous to that of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein, mediated b...
