Amyloid β-peptide fragment; minimum section required to bind to brain proteins. Binds with high affinity to α7-nicotinic ACh receptors, and impairs memory retention following central administration in mice in vivo.
β-amyloid (12-28) TFA, a peptide fragment of β-amyloidprotein (β1-42), is the major component of senile plaque cores. β-amyloid (12-28) has aggregation properties and the potential for Alzheimer's disease research.
β-Amyloid (22-35) is a 14-aa peptide, shows aggregates and induces neurotoxicity in the hippocampal cells. Beta amyloid (22-35) is a synthetic truncated fragment of beta-amyloid peptide.
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 (29-40), a fragment of the Amyloid-β peptide, possesses physical and chemical properties similar to those of viral protein fusion peptides. The C-terminal fragments (29-40 42) of Alzheimer's beta amyloid peptide can induce the fusion of liposomes.
