Solubility/Reconstitution Instructions: Use 20 ul sterile D.I. water to dissolve 10 ug of protein for a final conc of 0.5 ug/ul. For further dilution, use 10 mM Tris, pH 8.0. Biological Activity: MyBioSource's recombinant human beta-Secretase/BACE-1 is biologically active as determined by using the beta-Secretase Activity Assay Kit. Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that produces 1 pmol/min EDANS by hydrolyzing the substrate BVT9964 (NH2-Arg-Glu(EDANS)-Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe-Lys(DABCYL)-Arg-COOH) at 37 degree C in 100 mM acetate buffer pH 4.0. Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

products description :
Beta-Secretase, also called BACE1 (beta-site of APP cleaving enzyme) or memapsin-2 is an aspartic-acid protease important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and in the formation of myelin sheaths in peripheral nerve cells. The transmembrane protein contains two active site aspartate residues in its extracellular protein domain.

ncbi summary :
Cerebral deposition of amyloid beta peptide is an early and critical feature of Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid beta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by two proteases, one of which is the protein encoded by this gene. The encoded protein, a member of the peptidase A1 protein family, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease that is found mainly in the Golgi. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
uniprot summary :
BACE: an integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease that is found mainly in the Golgi. Cleaves APP at the amino terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, leading to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated carboxy-terminal fragment which is later release by gamma-secretase. Four splice-variant isoforms have been described. Protein type: Protease; Membrane protein, integral; EC 3.4.23.46. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q23.2-q23.3. Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; multivesicular body; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; cell surface; integral to plasma membrane; axon; endoplasmic reticulum; late endosome; integral to membrane; plasma membrane; trans-Golgi network; endosome. Molecular Function: protein binding; enzyme binding; beta-amyloid binding; beta-aspartyl-peptidase activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase activity. Biological Process: beta-amyloid metabolic process; membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; proteolysis
