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

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

Terrusnolides A-D (1-4), four butenolides were isolated from an endophytic Aspergillus from Tripterygium wilfordii. The structures of 1-4 were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. It is interesting that 1 was a butenolide derived by

We report here two new small-size peptides acting as modulators of the β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) exosite. Ac-YPYFDPL-NH2 and Ac-YPYDIPL-NH2 displayed a moderate but significant inhibitory effect on BACE1. These peptides were obtained from a molecular modeling study.

Alkaloids have always been a great source of cholinesterase inhibitors. Numerous studies have shown that inhibiting acetylcholinesterase as well as butyrylcholinetserase is advantageous, and have better chances of success in preclinical/ clinical settings. With the objective to discover dual cholinesterase

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with no cure nowadays; there is no treatment either to prevent or to stop its progression. In vitro studies suggested that tert-butyl-(4-hydroxy-3-((3-(2-methylpiperidin-yl)propyl)carbamoyl)phenyl) carbamate named the M4 compound can act as both β-secretase and
