Details of the BTS

General Information of Binding Target of SBP (BTS) (ID: ST00177)
BTS Name
Beta-secretase 2
Synonyms
EC 3.4.23.45; Aspartic-like protease 56 kDa; Aspartyl protease 1; ASP1; Asp 1; Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2; Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 2; Down region aspartic protease; DRAP; Memapsin-1; Membrane-associated aspartic protease 1; Theta-secretase
BTS Type
Protein
Family
Peptidase A1 family
Gene Name
BACE2
Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Function
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. Responsible also for the proteolytic processing of CLTRN in pancreatic beta cells
