Background
Bace1 (β-secretase 1, also known as beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 and ASP2, GenBank Accession No. NM_012104.4) is an aspartic protease involved in the processing of the Amyloid precursor protein (APP) . Cleavage of APP by BACE1 followed by γ-secretase results in β-amyloid peptide production, which ultimately leads to toxic Amyloid β accumulation. Amyloid β aggregation may play a critical role in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis, suggesting that BACE1 could be a potential therapeutic target in this disease.
Description
The BACE1 Assay Kit is designed to measure BACE1 activity for screening and profiling applications using a labeled peptide substrate in a homogeneous fluorogenic assay.The peptide substrate contains a fluorescence Donor that is quenched by an  Acceptor when the peptide is intact. Upon BACE1-mediated cleavage the two peptide fragments pull apart, releasing the highly fluorescent peptide fragment from quenching. Therefore, the fluorescence intensity increases proportionally to the activity of BACE1.Need us to run inhibitor screens or profile your compounds against BACE1?
