- Chemistry
- 28 August 2001
Memapsin 2 is the protease known as β-secretase whose action on β-amyloid precursor protein leads to the production of the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide. Since the accumulation of Aβ in the brain is a key… Expand

Alzheimer disease is intimately linked to an excess amount of amyloid‐β (Aβ) in the brain. Thus, therapeutic inhibition of Aβ production is an attractive clinical approach to treat this disease. Here… Expand
Human aspartic protease memapsin 2 cleaves the b-secretase site of b-amyloid precursor protein
The cDNAs of two new human membrane-associated aspartic proteases, memapsin 1 and memapsin 2, have been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequences show that each contains the typical pre,… Expand
