    Abstract: Disclosed is an active, isolated β-secretase enzyme in purified and recombinant form. This enzyme is implicated in the production of amyloid plaque components which accumulate in the brains of individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Recombinant cells that produce this enzyme either alone or in combination with some of its natural substrates (APP and APPsw) are also disclosed. These compositions are useful for use in methods of selecting compounds that modulate β-secretase. Inhibitors of β-secretase are implicated as therapeutics in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract translation: 公开了纯化和重组形式的活性,分离的β-分泌酶。 这种酶涉及积聚在患有阿尔茨海默病的个体的脑中的淀粉样蛋白斑块成分的产生。 也公开了单独或与其一些天然底物(APP和APPsw)组合产生该酶的重组细胞。 这些组合物可用于选择调节β-分泌酶的化合物的方法。 β-分泌酶的抑制剂涉及作为治疗神经变性疾病如阿尔茨海默病的治疗剂。
