Beta-Amyloid [1-16] Antibody

Brand

Abbiotec

Description

Beta-amyloid production results from cleavage in the extracellular domain of APP by the beta-secretase (BACE1) , which results in the production of the APP C-terminal fragment C99. This fragment is further cleaved by the gamma-secretase at residues 40-42 to produce beta-amyloid 40 and 42 peptides. Beta-amyloid aggregation and neuritic plaque formation are pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer disease. The (1-16) fragment is the amino terminus of beta-amyloid. The binding of this antibody to amyloid beta-peptide depends on the presence of residues 10-16.
