Function[BACE1_HUMAN] Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads 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.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedHighly potent BACE-1 protease inhibitors have been developed from an inhibitors containing a hydroxyethylene (HE) core displaying aryloxymethyl or benzyloxymethyl P1 side chain and a methoxy P1' side chain. The target molecules were synthesized in good overall yields from chiral carbohydrate starting materials. The inhibitors show high BACE-1 potency and good selectivity against cathepsin D, where the most potent inhibitor furnishes BACE-1 K(i) << 1 nM and displays >1000-fold selectivity over cathepsin D.
