Function
- broad endopeptidase specificity
- cleaves APP between Met671 & Asp672 (APP-770 designation), generating the free NH2 terminus of beta-amyloid (A4), or
- preferentially cuts APP at positions 1 or 11 of A4 sequence[5]
- APP beta-secretase may cleave APP (in part) during late secretory trafficking[8]
- activity may be enhanced by cholesterol or cholesterol esters[7]
- activity enhanced by PAWR
- inhibited by RTN3 & RTN4 monomer.
- interacts with GGA1, GGA2 & GGA3
- trafficking may be regulated by retromer complex[9]
Structure
- belongs to the peptidase A1 family
Compartment
- maximal expression in endosomes
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=4
Expression
Pathology
- in concert with APP gamma-secretase, generates Abeta
- cleaves Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-|-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe in the Swedish variant of APP
Comparative biology
- may interact with neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) in mice to sustain muscle spindles in mice & to maintain motor coordination[11]
Notes
- 3D structure described in reference 6
