beta-amyloid 1-16

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 (1-16) rat 是β-淀粉样肽 (Abeta) 金属结合域的片段，含有三个与人类相异的氨基酸替代，因此在大鼠和小鼠中降低了 AD 样神经退行性变的易感性。
