beta-amyloid 12-20

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.

Intracerebroventricular administration of synthetic peptides Beta-amyloid (12-20), (12-28), and (18-28) causes amnesia in mice. These peptides have only amino acid residues VFF at position 18 to 20 in common, suggesting the amnestic effect of the triad.
