Aminoimidazoles as BACE-1 Inhibitors: From De Novo Design to Ab- lowering in Brain

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23126626

Function

[BACE1_HUMAN] 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.^{[1] [2]}
