Información del producto

• Nombre: Amyloid ²-Protein Fragment 40-1
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: Amyloid-β (Aβ) is a globular protein of about 40 amino acids that is the major constituent of amyloid plaques. Aβ is derived from sequential proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by enzymes called β-secretase and γ-secretase. The Aβ1-40 fragment has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease, and its production can be inhibited by antibodies.; The fragment consists of 40 amino acids and contains a central region that shares sequence similarity with the immunoglobulin fold, flanked on either side by β-strands.; The N terminus is hydrophobic while the C terminus is hydrophilic.; It has been shown to form ion channels in lipid bilayers, which can be blocked by various ligands such as antibodies or peptides.; CAS No.: 144409-99-4
