Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

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 By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Broad endopeptidase specificity. Cleaves Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-|-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe in the Swedish variant of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein.
Enzyme regulation	Inhibited by RTN3 and RTN4 By similarity.
Subunit structure	Monomer. Interacts with GGA1, GGA2 and GGA3. Interacts with RTN3 and RTN4 By similarity.
Subcellular location	Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
