The beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 in various samples. beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 is another term for the BACE1 gene, which encodes the protein, beta-secretase 1 in humans. It has been reported that beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis, among other functions. Structurally, the BACE1 protein is 501 amino acid residues in length and 55.8 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 6 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed at high levels in the brain and pancreas. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated, ubiquitinated, palmitoylated, acetylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include ASP2, ASP2, and BACE.
