Gene Information

human ... BACE1(23621)

Application

The kit provides all the reagents required for an efficient detection of BACE1 activity. It contains an enzyme to be used for screening for potential BACE1 inhibitors. The assay is based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method in which the fluorescence signal enhancement is observed after substrate cleavage by BACE1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

BACE1 is a transmembrane protease responsible for the β site cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to produce amyloid β peptide (Aβ). The accumulation of Aβ in the brain is a primary cause for the progression of Alzheimer′s. BACE1 is a target for inhibitor drug discovery.

Storage Class

The multitarget-directed strategy offers an effective and promising paradigm to treat the complex neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, a series of N-benzylpiperidine analogs (17-31 and 32-46) were designed and synthesized as multi-functional inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and

The increase of amyloid beta (Aβ) release and hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein represents the main events related to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Furthermore, the sporadic type represents the most common form of AD. Therefore, the establishment of a non-transgenic animal model

We report in this work new substituted aminopyrimidine derivatives acting as inhibitors of the catalytic site of BACE1. These compounds were obtained from a molecular modeling study. The theoretical and experimental study reported here was carried out in several steps:

As beta-secretase, memapsin 2 cleaves amyloid-beta precursor protein, which leads ultimately to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. As such, memapsin 2 is an excellent target of inhibitor drugs for the treatment of this disease. Here we describe the tools for
