Active Recombinant Human BACE1 protein

• Cat.No.: BACE1-255H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human BACE1 protein(NP_036236.1)(Met1-Thr457) was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile 50mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, pH 8.0Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to cleave a fluorescent peptide substrate Mca-Ser-Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe-Arg-Lys(Dpn)-Arg-Arg-NH2. Cleavage of ES004 can be measured using excitation and emission wavelength of 320 and 405 nm, respectively. The specific activity is >3.5 pmoles/min/μg.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human BACE1 consists of 442 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 49 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the rhBACE1 migrates as an approximately 65 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
• Protein length: Met1-Thr457
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C
  Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

Are there any potential side effects associated with BACE1 inhibition?

Yes, several clinical trials are underway to assess the safety and efficacy of BACE1 inhibitors in treating Alzheimer's disease.

How is BACE1 linked to Alzheimer's disease?

BACE1 is implicated in Alzheimer's disease as it initiates the cleavage of APP, leading to the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, a hallmark of the disease.

How can BACE1 inhibitors potentially benefit Alzheimer's patients?

BACE1 inhibitors may slow down or prevent the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques, potentially delaying the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Are there any ongoing clinical trials involving BACE1 inhibitors?

Yes, several clinical trials are underway to assess the safety and efficacy of BACE1 inhibitors in treating Alzheimer's disease.

Are there clinical applications of BACE1 inhibitors?

Yes, BACE1 inhibitors are being explored as potential therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease to reduce the production of beta-amyloid peptides.
