title: Protein lipidation of BACE.
abstract: Our research has concentrated upon the protein lipid modification of BACE [beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (beta-secretase)], of which very little is currently known. Lipidation influences the production of Abeta (amyloid beta-protein) by promoting the dimerization of BACE.
