Cloning and expression of the rat BACE1 promoter
9 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) into beta-amyloid peptides, which give rise to beta-amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients, requires the enzymatic activity of the beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1). We report the cloning and sequence of a 1.5-kb DNA fragment upstream of the coding sequence of the rat BACE1 gene and the construction of a BACE1...
