About Bace1

Primary_assembly 8: 46,142,116-46,165,876 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026981.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 22 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 222.4), Heart (RPKM 151.3) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; cellular response to metal ion; and detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle; and neuronal cell body. Used to study dementia. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; sensory peripheral neuropathy; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human BACE1 (Beta-secretase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
