Mouse Gene Bace2 (ENSMUST00000047275.7) from GENCODE VM23 Comprehensive Transcript Set (only Basic displayed by default)
Description: Mus musculus beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2 (Bace2), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_019517) RefSeq Summary (NM_019517): This gene encodes a member of the peptidase A1 family of aspartic proteases. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate an active endopeptidase enzyme. This transmembrane protease catalyzes the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein to produce amyloid beta peptide. Mice lacking the encoded product exhibit increased pancreatic beta cell mass and improved glucose tolerance due to increased insulin secretion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
