Bioinformation

Gene Symbol BACE1
Gene Full Name beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1
Background Cerebral deposition of amyloid beta peptide is an early and critical feature of Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid beta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by two proteases, one of which is the protein encoded by this gene. The encoded protein, a member of the peptidase A1 protein family, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease that is found mainly in the Golgi. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
Function Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads 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.

Cellular Localization Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Endoplasmic reticulum. Endosome. Cell surface. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Membrane raft. Note=Predominantly localized to the later Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) and minimally detectable in the early Golgi compartments. A small portion is also found in the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes and on the cell surface. [UniProt]
PTM N-Glycosylated.

Acetylated in the endoplasmic reticulum at Lys-126, Lys-275, Lys-279, Lys-285, Lys-299, Lys-300 and Lys-307. Acetylation by NAT8 and NAT8B is transient and deacetylation probably occurs in the Golgi. Acetylation regulates the maturation, the transport to the plasma membrane, the stability and the expression of the protein.

Palmitoylation mediates lipid raft localization. [UniProt]
