Function
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. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed at high levels in the brain and pancreas. In the brain, expression is highest in the substantia nigra, locus coruleus and medulla oblongata. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. -
Domain
The transmembrane domain is necessary for its activity. It determines its late Golgi localization and access to its substrate, APP. -
Post-translational
modificationsGlycosylated. -
Cellular localization
Membrane. Golgi apparatus > trans-Golgi network. Endoplasmic reticulum. Endosome. Cell surface. Predominantly localized to the later Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) and minimally detectable in the early Golgi compartments. A small portion is also found in the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes and on the cell surface. - Information by UniProt
