Function | Regulator of gamma-secretase activity, which specifically activates the production of amyloid-beta protein (amyloid-beta protein 40 and amyloid-beta protein 42), without affecting the cleavage of other gamma-secretase targets such has Notch. The gamma-secretase complex is an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (amyloid-beta precursor protein). Specifically promotes the gamma- cleavage of APP CTF-alpha (also named APP-CTF) by the gamma-secretase complex to generate amyloid-beta, while it reduces the epsilon-cleavage of APP CTF-alpha, leading to a low production of AICD. |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network |

Background
GSAP, gamma-secretase activating protein interacts with gamma secretase which chops up the amyloid precursor protein to senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. GSAP was found to increase the production amyloid peptide. Immunohistochemistry to identify GSAP in brain can demonstrate its abundance in certain regions of damage, and is usually morphologically changed throughout the progression of Alzheimer's disease. GSAP can be used as a qualitative biomarker of Alzheimer's disease progression, and is regularly considered one of the best targets of therapies to diminish the effects of Alzheimer's disease in affected individuals.
