BACE2 [ENSP00000332979]
Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2; Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves APP, between residues 690 and 691, leading 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. It has also been shown that it can cleave APP between residues 671 and 672.
Synonyms: BACE2, BACE2p, hBACE2, Q9Y5Z0, AEPLC ...
