Western blot - Anti-BACE1 antibody [EPR3956] (AB108394)
Western blot : Anti-BACE1 antibody [EPR3956] (ab108394) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab108394 was shown to bind specifically to BACE1. A band was observed at 56 kDa in wild-type U-87 MG cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in BACE1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and BACE1 knockout U-87 MG cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

ab108394 was shown to recognize BACE1 in wild type cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in BACE1 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and BACE1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab108394 and ab9484 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively.

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.
