β-Secretase, also known as BACE (β-site of Amyloid precursor protein Cleaving Enzyme) and Memapsin 2 is an aspartyl protease found in humans. β-Secretase plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. This has made β-secretase a therapeutic target for pharmacological intervention.
