presenilin gene

presenilin gene
either of two genes, PSEN1 (locus: 14q24.3) and PSEN2 (locus: 1q31-q42), encoding similar polypeptides found in many cell types both within and outside the brain and involved in cellular lipid metabolism; mutations are associated with early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease (q.v.).
