Product Specific Information

PEP-166 is an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide whose sequence is derived from human BACE2 protein. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): V (441)-S-E-I-S-G-P-F-S-T-E-D-I-A-S-N-C (457)

This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and human BACE2, catalog # PA1-753. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.

Target Information

BACE2 or Beta Secretase 2 is responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). BACE2 cleaves APP between residues 690 and 691. This cleavage leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP. BACE2 is also know to cleave APP between residues 671 and 672. Accumulation of APP is a signature of Alzheimer disease and frequent complication of adult Down syndrome patients.
