Nicastrin, a protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease, has a domain that is found in the aminopeptidase/transferrin receptor superfamily. In nicastrin, this domain might possess catalytic activity (as observed with aminopeptidases) or it could serve merely as a binding domain (with analogy to the transferrin receptors) for the beta-amyloid precursor protein.
