The Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules L1 and CHL1 Are Cleaved by BACE1 Protease in Vivo
13 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
The β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme BACE1 is a prime drug target for Alzheimer disease. However, the function and the physiological substrates of BACE1 remain largely unknown. In this work, we took a quantitative proteomic approach to analyze the secretome of primary neurons after acute BACE1 inhibition, and we identified several novel substrate candidates for BACE1. Many of these molecules are...
