Biological function summary
BACE1 and BACE2 serve as key players in neurodegenerative pathways. They are known to form part of the gamma-secretase complex participating in the proteolytic processing of APP leading to the formation of amyloid-beta peptides. These peptides have significant implications in cell signaling and neuronal functions contributing to synaptic plasticity and overall brain health. BACE2 also has roles in pigment cell biology indicating its additional functions beyond the nervous system.
Pathways
BACE1 and BACE2 are integral to the amyloidogenic pathway a central route in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. They are related to proteins such as APP and presenilin which influence the generation of amyloid-beta peptides. Another important pathway involving BACE1 is the Notch signaling pathway where its activity can influence cellular differentiation processes.
