Source:
Type:
BACE stands for β-site APP-cleaving enzyme, also known as β-secretase. It plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease by initiating the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, the primary components of amyloid plaques found in the brains of individuals with AD.
-inhibiting BACE1 reduces Aβ production.

BACE1 - Beta-Site APP Cleaving Enzyme 1 / β-Secretase 1

Abbreviation: BACE1, β-secretase, β-secretase 1

Type: Aspartyl protease / amyloidogenic APP-processing enzyme

Function: BACE1 is a membrane-associated aspartyl protease that performs the initial β-secretase cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). This cleavage generates soluble APPβ and the membrane-bound C99 fragment, which is subsequently cleaved by γ-secretase to produce amyloid-β peptides including Aβ40 and Aβ42.

Alzheimer's Disease: ↑ Increased BACE1 expression or enzymatic activity promotes amyloidogenic APP processing and increases amyloid-β production. Elevated BACE1 activity has been reported in Alzheimer's disease and contributes to Aβ accumulation, plaque formation, synaptic dysfunction, and disease progression. BACE1 inhibition reduces Aβ production, although clinical BACE1 inhibitors have been limited by adverse effects related to the enzyme's normal physiological functions.

Pancreatic Cancer: Hypoxia (low oxygen tension) is commonly found in solid tumors. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1),is a key mediator of the cellular response to hypoxia and is overexpressed in a wide variety of solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer.
