背景信息:
Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is an aspartic-acid protease important in the formation of myelin sheaths in peripheral nerve cells.BACE-1 is the peptidase predominantly responsible for cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein beta site in the brain to generate the amyloid beta peptide. Because the amyloid beta peptide is a major component of amyloid plaques, BACE-1 has been implicated in the onset and/or progression of Alzheimer's disease. BACE-1 is expressed in a variety of human tissues,such brain, pancreatic tissue.
