Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase.Data source: Uniprot [http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P56817 P56817]<br> | Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).
