A fact from Amyloid precursor protein appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on January 29, 2007.

Holy cow. I am impressed. A five eyed genius !--Filll 03:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks ;) I don't know about this one, but I hope to make amyloid beta an FA eventually. Opabinia regalis 06:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gamma-secretase

Gamma-secretase is now much more fully understood than this article indicates. presenillin 1 forms the core of the enzyme, but yeast two hybrid assays have shown interactions with several other proteins and nicastrin, Aph1A and PEN2 have been shown to be critical for gamme secretease activity. I will do the proper edit when I get some time. Povmcdov 14:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

The gamma secretase article has that information. This article does say gamma secretase is "a large multi-subunit complex whose components have not yet been fully characterized, but notably include presenilin, whose gene has been identified as a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's." I think it's fine as is. Flyguy649^talk_contribs 14:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting help?

Just noticed that my previous change to add an updated protein infobox (using ProteinBoxBot data) messed up some formatting. In firefox, all the section edit links show up at the bottom, and in IE, the main text does not flow along the side of the new infobox. Anyone have any insights here?

[edit] Up-regulated has a hyphen

Or am I out-dated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.218.149 (talk) 21:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
