Stem Cells. 2010 Jan;28(1):5-16.


NOTCH blockade by gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) reduced neurosphere growth and clonogenicity in vitro, whereas expression of an active form of NOTCH2 increased tumor growth.

Here, we show that sRAGE is also produced through regulated intramembrane proteolysis of the RAGE receptor, which is catalyzed by ADAM10 and the gamma-secretase and that calcium is an essential regulator of RAGE processing.
