The Alzheimer-related gene presenilin-1 facilitates sonic hedgehog expression in Xenopus primary neurogenesis

We analyzed the influence of presenilins on the genetic cascades that control neuronal differentiation in Xenopus embryos. Resembling sonic hedgehog (shh) overexpression, presenilin mRNA injection reduced the number of N-tubulin+ primary neurons and modulated Gli3 and Zic2 according to their roles i...
