BACE1, or beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, serves as the rate-limiting enzyme in the amyloidogenic pathway, initiating the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein that ultimately generates amyloid-beta peptides. This aspartyl protease has become a central focus in Alzheimer's disease research, where its activity directly influences amyloid plaque formation, making it both a critical biomarker and a therapeutic target of significant interest.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 7G3, offers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled recombinant systems, researchers can expect consistent performance across lots, eliminating the variability that often complicates experimental comparisons over time.
Validation studies confirm robust detection across human, mouse, and rat samples, providing the cross-species reactivity needed for translational research workflows. Western blot analysis demonstrates clear detection in MCF-7 whole cell lysate as well as rat and mouse brain tissue at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:5000, with optimal results observed at 1:2000. The observed band at approximately 72 kDa runs higher than the predicted molecular weights of 43–56 kDa, a shift commonly attributed to post-translational modifications including glycosylation, which is well-documented for this membrane-associated protease.
The antibody is also validated for ELISA, offering flexibility for researchers requiring quantitative measurements alongside qualitative detection. For investigators studying neurodegeneration, synaptic biology, or amyloid processing mechanisms, this antibody provides a reliable tool for examining BACE1 expression and regulation across multiple experimental contexts and model systems.
