β-Amyloid (1-16) is an amyloidogenic protein fragment with a sequence derived from β-amyloid. It exhibits the ability to bind to metal ions, indicating its involvement in metal-binding processes. β-Amyloid, a peptide, is responsible for the formation of amyloid plaques in the brains of individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD).
β-Amyloid (12-20) is a peptide fragment of β-Amyloid containing the amino acid residues VFF at positions (18-20), suggesting amnestic effects for this triad.
The amyloid β-protein is a 39- to 43-amino acid polypeptide that is the primary constituent of senile plaques and cerebrovascular deposits in Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome. Additionally it acts as an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation in vitro.
β-Amyloid (1-38), derived from mice and rats, is a chemical compound comprising 38 amino acids, specifically residues 1-38 of the Aβ peptide. Notably, it serves as the primary constituent of amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.
