β-Secretase inhibitor

产品说明

Amino Acid Sequence

Lys-Thr-Glu-Glu-Ile-Ser-Glu-Val-Asn-Sta-Val-Ala-Glu-Phe

一般描述

β-Site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1), an aspartic protease belongs to the protease family of enzymes comprises of six luminal cysteine residues. These residues help in the formation of three intermolecular disulfide bonds and N-linked glycosylation sites.

应用

β-Secretase inhibitor has been used as β-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) inhibitor in BACE1 inhibitor assay.(2)
β-Secretase inhibitor may be used to inhibit BACE1 in studies related to AD.

生化/生理作用

β-Site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) is a β-secretase that initiates the production of amyloid protein in Alzheimer′s dieases (AD) patients. β-Secretase inhibitors decrease the generation of β amyloid and formation of amyloid plaques typical of AD.
