PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.4.23.45
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.
