SYNONYMS

Membrane-associated aspartic protease 2; Memapsin-2; KIAA1149; Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1; Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1; BACE; Aspartyl protease 2; Asp 2; ASP2

FUNCTION

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. Cleaves APP with much more catalytic efficiency than for the wild-type. Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).
