Product Description
Beta-Secretase 1 Human Recombinant
Overview
Beta-secretase 1 or BACE1 or beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, is a protein that is encoded by the BACE1 gene in humans. Expression of BACE1 is seen primarily in neurons as it is crucial for the creation of myelin sheats in the peripheric nervous system. Beta-secretase 1 is a proteas that is located in the cell membrane (transmembrane). The enzyme consists of 2 active sites (aspartate residues) in the extracellular domain that can act as a dimer.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 5 pmol/min/ug in which one unit will convert 1.0 pmole of Mca-SEVNLDAEFRK(Dnp)RR-NH2 to MCA- Pro-Leu-OH per minute at pH 3.5 at 25C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | BACE1 protein solution containing Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
