Gene name

BACE2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

AEPLC, ALP56, CEAP1, DRAP

Description

Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes an integral membrane glycoprotein that functions as an aspartic protease. The encoded protein cleaves amyloid precursor protein into amyloid beta peptide, which is a critical step in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. The protein precursor is further processed into an active mature peptide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
