| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Memapsin 1.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| ASP1. |
| BACE2. |
| Beta-secretase. |
| Beta-site Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2. |
| Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2. |
| Down region aspartic protease. |
| Membrane-associated aspartic protease 1. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Broad endopeptidase specificity. Cleaves Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-|-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe in the Swedish variant of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Can cleave beta-amyloid precursor protein to form the amyloidogenic
beta-peptide that is implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's
disease, but is not significantly expressed in human brain.
- Belongs to peptidase family A1.
