BACE2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: BACE2
  • Official Name: beta-secretase 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 25825
  • UniProt: Q9Y5Z0
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed

Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves APP, between residues 690 and 691, leading 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. It has also been shown that it can cleave APP between residues 671 and 672. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10591213, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11083922, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11423558, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15857888, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16816112}.
