SEZ6, His, Human

Description

Seizure-related protein 6 Sez6 contributes to chronic pain development as sez6 knockout mice show attenuated pain behaviours after peripheral nerve injury, compared with control mice. The type I transmembrane isoform of Sez6 is cleaved by the beta-amyloid precursor protein cleavage enzyme 1 BACE1 , resulting in Sez6 extracellular domain shedding from the neuron surface.
