About NCSTN

Cytogenetic location: 1q23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:160,343,383-160,358,949 (from NCBI)

This gene has 45 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 38.1), duodenum (RPKM 30.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is an integral component of the multimeric gamma-secretase complex. The encoded protein cleaves integral membrane proteins, including Notch receptors and beta-amyloid precursor protein, and may be a stabilizing cofactor required for gamma-secretase complex assembly. The cleavage of beta-amyloid precursor protein yields amyloid beta peptide, the main component of the neuritic plaque and the hallmark lesion in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease; however, the nature of the encoded protein's role in Alzheimer's disease is not known for certain. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial acne inversa. A pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 21. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
