Anti-BACE antibody (2253) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human BACE. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of BACE.
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.
