Preparation and Storage

Background: BACE-2

BACE-2 ( beta -site APP cleaving enzyme 2; also ASP-1 and Memapsin-1) is a 73‑75 kDa member of the peptidase A1 family. It is expressed both inside and outside the CNS and is classified as a Golgi aspartyl protease. Its status as a beta -secretase is unclear. If it has physiological activity, it may be associated with glia. Mature BACE-2 is a 456 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 411 aa extracellular domain (aa 63‑473) that has two catalytic residues (Asp93 and Asp289). Two potential splice forms exist; one shows a deletion of aa’s 329‑378, while a second shows an 18 aa substitution for aa’s 380‑518. Over aa 63‑466, human BACE-2 shares 92% aa sequence identity with mouse BACE‑2.
