Increased beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) enzyme activity causes senile plaque formation. Increased BACE1 activity (when NF-κB transcription factor binds with its promoter region) causes abnormal APP cleavage that produces a burden of amyloid beta proteins. Consequences of amyloid beta plaques include Alzheimer’s disease development.
