Active Recombinant Mouse Beta-Site APP-Cleaving Enzyme 2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Bace2-527M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Mouse β-site APP Cleaving Enzyme 2 was expressed with an N-terminal signal peptide and a C-terminal 6X His tag in amurine myeloma cell line, NSO. The purified, secreted rmBACE2 corresponds mainly to the active form with the N-terminal sequence of A63LEPV. The 406 amino acid sequence of rmBACE2 predicts a molecular mass of 44 kDa. By SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of the active form is approximately 55 kDa.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: Mammalian Cells
• Tag: His
• Description: BACE2 is a close homolog of BACE1, a protease known to be an important enzyme involved in the cellular pathways that some believe lead to Alzheimer"s disease. The physiological function and role of BACE2 in Alzheimer"s disease is unknown. Cerebral deposition of amyloid beta peptide is an early and critical feature of Alzheimer"s disease and a frequent complication of Down syndrome. Amyloid beta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein by 2 proteases, one of which is the protein encoded by this gene. This gene localizes to the "Down critical region" of chromosome 21. The encoded protein, a member of the peptidase A1 protein family, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and aspartic protease. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
• Purity: >90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and visualized by silver stain.
• Activity: The specific activity, measured with 10 μM ES010 and 1 μg enzyme in 100 μL of 100 mM NaOAc, 1M NaCl, pH 3.0, at room temperature, is > 10 pmoles/min/μg.
• Solubility: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 50mM Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5.
• Protein Content: Measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-KPLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2. Cleavage of ES010 can be measured using excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively.
• Storage: Lyophilized samples are stable for up to six months at -20℃ to -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine, in the presence of a carrier protein, can be stored under sterile conditions at 2 - 8°Cfor one month or at -20°Cto -70°Cin a manual defrost freezer for three months without detectable loss of activity.
