β-Amyloid (11-22) is a peptide fragment of β-Amyloid. Beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), the primary component of amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, is believed to be the cause of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder.
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.
Anionic interaction of Beta-amyloid (1-11) with Factor XII is suspected to cause massive activation of the C4 (complement 4) system in the cerebrospinal fluid of Alzheimer’s disease patients.
This synthetic peptide consists of amino acids 22 to 40 of beta amyloid protein. This peptide sequence is often used in beta amyloid structure and aggregation studies.
