Recombinant mouse BACE-2 protein
BACE-2, also known as beta secretase 2, belongs to the peptidase A1 family. It is an aspartic protease that is a close homolog of BACE-1. However, BACE-2 differs from BACE-1 in several aspects including pro-enzyme activation, substrate binding sites, transcriptional regulation, and function in Aβ peptide production. It has been shown to play a key role in insulin receptor trafficking in the pancreas where it is expressed in β cells and affects glucose tolerance and was suggested as a promising target for improving β cell function in diabetes. Recombinant mouse BACE-2, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293 cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
