Snapin-Mediated BACE1 Retrograde Transport Is Essential for Its Degradation in Lysosomes and Regulation of APP Processing in Neurons

β site amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the major β secretase for generating β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides. The acidic environment of endosomes is optimal for β secretase activity. However, the mechanisms regulating BACE1 traffic from endosomes to lysosomes for degradation are...
