Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
12707937 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
16023140 Observational study of gene-disease association and gene-gene interaction. (HuGE Navigator)
17113083 These results indicate that increased V(max) for beta-secretase is a feature of AD pathogenesis and this increase does not correlate directly with levels of BACE1, the principal beta-secretase in brain.
12611455 A novel aspartic protease gene, ALP56, is up-regulated in human breast cancer. ALP56 may be a useful target molecule in breast cancer treatment.
16816112 BACE2is not involved in the Alzheimer dissease(AD)pathogenesis of Down syndrome (DS) patients; instead, therapeutic interventions that potentiate BACE2 may prevent AD pathogenesis.
12618121 BACE1 and BACE2 (a) are expressed in normal adult muscle at the postsynaptic domain of neuromuscular junctions, and in cultured human muscle; (b) accumulate in the form of plaque-like inclusions in myositis vacuolated and necrotic muscle fibers
12093293 Specificity and its implications on the design of memapsin 2 (beta-secretase) inhibitor selectivity
16757812 Data characterize the human beta-secretase 2 (BACE2) 5'-flanking region.
17307738 BACE1 and BACE2 may act as alternative alpha-secretase-like proteases in proteolytic processing of IL-1R2 and APP
11741910 BACE has a loose substrate specificity and that the substrate recognition site in BACE extends over several amino acids
