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.

    ab263901 was shown to specifically react with BACE1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in BACE1 knockout cells. Wild-type and BACE1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab263901 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. The blot was developed on a BIO-RAD® ChemiDoc™ MP instrument using the ECL technique.
