ER-associated degradation regulates Alzheimer’s amyloid pathology and memory function by modulating γ-secretase activity

Endoplasmic-reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) regulates protein homeostasis. Here the authors identify an ERAD component membralin, and show that it interacts with a member of the γ-secretase complex to regulate β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology and memory deficits in an Alzheimer’s disease model.
