General description

BACE-1 (β-site APP cleaving enzyme, Asp2 or memapsin 2) is known as β-secretase. BACE-1 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. It constitutes the predominant β-secretase activity in human brain tissue.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human BACE-1 (amino acids 485-501).

Application

Anti-BACE 1, C-Terminus (485-501) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Overexpression of β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE-1) leads to increased β-secretase activity while displaying appropriate cleavage site specificity for amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Physical form

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