Journal ArticleDOI

Mice deficient in BACE1, the Alzheimer's beta-secretase, have normal phenotype and abolished beta-amyloid generation.

TL;DR: These results provide validation of BACE1 as the major β-secretase in vivo and suggest that therapeutic inhibition of Bace1 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease may be free of mechanism-based toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Determinants of Vanilloid Sensitivity in TRPV1

TL;DR: Key residues (Met547 and Thr550) in transmembrane regions 3 and 4 of rat and human TRPV1 that confer vanilloid sensitivity, [3H]RTX binding and competitive antagonist binding to rabbit TRpV1 are identified and it is shown that these residues differentially affect ligand recognition as well as the assays of functional response versus ligand binding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression analysis of BACE2 in brain and peripheral tissues.

TL;DR: BACE and BACE2 are unique among aspartic proteases in that they possess a carboxyl-terminal extension with a predicted transmembrane region and together they define a new family.
