presenilin-2 (PS-2) gene (E5-1, STM2, ALG-3 {mouse homolog})

E5-1; mouse ALG-3. ALG-3 is the mouse homolog of Alzheimer's disease protein STM2 that rescues a T-cell hybridoma cell from T-cell receptor & Fas-induced apoptosis. AD4 locus. 3 missense mutations in the PS-2 gene give give to familial Alzheimer's disease type 4 (FAD4).
