Edenson,Jackson Lile,Mark A. Jarosinski,Anja Leona Biere,Eileen Curran,Teresa L. Burgess,Jean Claude Louis,Frank H. Collins,James J. S. Treanor,Gary Rogers,Martin Citron +23 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of a transmembrane aspartic protease, termed BACE (for beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme) increased the amount of beta-secretase cleavage products, and these were cleaved exactly and only at known beta- secretase positions.

TL;DR: A membrane-bound enzyme activity that cleaves full-length APP at the β-secretase cleavage site is described and found to be the predominant β-cleavage activity in human brain, and it is found that human brain β- secretase is a new membrane- bound aspartic proteinase.
