General description

The membrane-associated aspartic protease BACE-1 (β-site APP cleaving enzyme, Asp2 or memapsin 2) has been identified as β-secretase. BACE-1 constitutes the predominant β-secretase activity in human brain tissue. It is highly expressed in neurons, the major site of Aβ generation. BACE-1 is localized within the Golgi and endosomal compartments, among the several intracellular sites where Aβ is thought to be produced. BACE-1 is initially an inactive proenzyme and localized in endoplasmic reticulum.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of human BACE-1 (amino acids 46-62).

Application

Anti-BACE 1, N-Terminus (46-62) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Overexpression of β-site APP cleaving enzyme, Asp2 or memapsin 2 (BACE-1) leads to increased β-secretase activity while displaying appropriate cleavage site specificity for APP. The N-glycosylation and phosphorylation of BACE-1 within its C-terminal domain regulated its intracellular trafficking.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

β-Site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) initiates the generation of amyloid-β (Aβ), thus representing a prime therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous work including ours has used BACE1 haploinsufficiency (BACE1(+/-); i.e., 50% reduction) as a therapeutic relevant model to evaluate

The β-secretase enzyme BACE1, which initiates the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) into the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, is a prime therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, recent investigations using genetic animal models raise concern that therapeutic BACE1 inhibition

β-Secretase1 (BACE1) protein concentrations and rates of enzyme activity, analyzed in human bodily fluids, are promising candidate biological markers for guidance in clinical trials investigating BACE1 inhibitors to halt or delay the dysregulation of the amyloid-β pathway in Alzheimer's disease
