BACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The BACE2 protein is critically involved in the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), producing beta-cleaved soluble APP and a cell-associated C-terminal fragment. It cleaves APP at residues 690-691 and 671-672. BACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived BACE2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The BACE2 protein is critically involved in the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), producing beta-cleaved soluble APP and a cell-associated C-terminal fragment. It cleaves APP at residues 690-691 and 671-672. BACE2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived BACE2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

The BACE2 protein assumes a critical role in the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), cleaving it between residues 690 and 691. This cleavage event results in the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment, later released by gamma-secretase. Additionally, BACE2 has been shown to cleave APP between residues 671 and 672. Beyond its involvement with APP, BACE2 plays a pivotal role in the proteolytic shedding of PMEL during early stages of melanosome biogenesis, cleaving PMEL within the M-beta fragment to release the amyloidogenic PMEL luminal fragment comprising M-alpha and a small portion of M-beta N-terminus. This cleavage step is crucial for the subsequent processing and assembly of PMEL fibrils into amyloid sheets. Furthermore, BACE2 is responsible for the proteolytic processing of CLTRN in pancreatic beta cells, highlighting its diverse functions in cellular processes and contributing to our understanding of its significance in various physiological contexts.
