General description

BACE-1 (β-site APP cleaving enzyme, Asp2 or memapsin 2) is known as β-secretase. BACE-1 is highly expressed in neurons, the major site of Aβ generation. BACE-1 is localized within the Golgi and endosomal compartments, among the several intracellular sites where Aβ is thought to be produced. It constitutes the predominant β-secretase activity in human brain tissue.
