NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Cerebral deposition of amyloid beta peptide is an early and critical feature of Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid beta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by two proteases, one of which is the protein encoded by this gene. The encoded protein, a member of the peptidase A1 protein family, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease that is found mainly in the Golgi. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
Uniprot Description
BACE: an integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease that is found mainly in the Golgi. Cleaves APP at the amino terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, leading to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated carboxy-terminal fragment which is later release by gamma-secretase. Four splice-variant isoforms have been described.
