Involvement of alpha-adrenoceptors in norepinephrine-induced prostaglandin E2 release by rat pineal gland in vitro.

abstract：:Presenilin 1 mutations are the major cause of autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease. Here we present evidence that pathogenic mutations in putative transmembrane domains 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 align along helical faces, thus supporting the view that these are indeed transmembrane domains, and suggesting that disruption of ...
