'''β-Secretase''', also known as '''BACE''' ('''β'''-site of '''A'''myloid precursor protein '''C'''leaving '''E'''nzyme) and '''Memapsin 2''', is an aspartyl protease found in humans. β-Secretase plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. This has made β-secretase a therapeutic target for pharmacological intervention. | '''β-Secretase''', also known as '''BACE''' ('''β'''-site of '''A'''myloid precursor protein '''C'''leaving '''E'''nzyme) and '''Memapsin 2''', is an aspartyl protease found in humans. β-Secretase plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
