Function

Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase (PubMed:10656250, PubMed:10677483, PubMed:20354142). Cleaves CHL1 (By similarity).

Activity summary

BACE1 also known as beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 or beta-secretase plays an important role in the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). This cleavage results in the production of amyloid-beta peptides which are associated with Alzheimer's disease. BACE1 is a membrane-bound aspartic protease and has a molecular weight of approximately 50100 Da. The enzyme expresses mostly in the brain's neurons and some secretory tissues.

Biological function summary

BACE1 initiates the amyloidogenic pathway of APP processing which involves amyloid-beta generation. BACE1 doesn't function alone but acts as part of a complex that aids in protein substrate recognition and processing. Its activity contributes to physiological processes like myelination and axonal guidance indicating its importance beyond amyloid production.

Pathways

BACE1 is integral to the amyloidogenic pathway which is important in Alzheimer's disease development. It interacts with proteins such as presenilin 1 a part of the gamma-secretase complex that further processes the amyloid-beta precursor. Furthermore BACE1 links to synaptic functions and neural signaling pathways highlighting its multifaceted roles.

Associated diseases and disorders

BACE1 holds significance in Alzheimer's disease due to its role in amyloid-beta peptide production. This connection has led to the development of BACE1 inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents. Additionally BACE1’s involvement in other neural functions ties it to cognitive impairments. It also relates to APP through its function in Alzheimer's suggesting targeted strategies for treatment could involve modulating BACE1 activity.

    Immunocytochemistry - Anti-BACE1 antibody (ab2077)

    Immunocytochemical analysis of D54MG (human glioblastoma cell line) cells labeling BACE1 with ab2077.Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100, blocked with 0.5% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, then incubated with ab2077 at a 1/50 dilution for 16 hours at 4°C. The secondary used was a TRITC conjugated goat anti-rabbit polyclonal, used at a 1/400 dilution. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI.
