EC Number 3.4.23.46
CAS Registry Number
Comments Suggested to be the major “¦Â-secretase” responsible for the cleavage of the ¦Â-amyloid precursor protein to form the amyloidogenic ¦Â-peptide that is implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. In peptidase family?A1?but is atypical in containing a C-terminal membrane-spanning domain.
Cofactor
History
Reactions Broad endopeptidase specificity. Cleaves Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-|-Asp-Ala-Glu- Phe in the Swedish variant of Alzheimer’s amyloid precursor protein.
