Description

Description: The progressive deposition of insoluble amyloid protein plaques in specific areas of the brain and its blood vessels is associated with a number of neuropathologies and is an early invariant feature of Alzheimer's disease. The major component of these protein plaques is a peptide of 39-42 amino acids derived from a group of 695-770 amino acid precursor proteins collectively referred to as the b-amyloid precursor protein (Beta-APP). b-APP is highly conserved in vertebrates; however, its normal function has not been well defined. In each of the b-APPs, the b-Amyloid peptide (b-AP) is an internal peptide that begins about 99 residues from the carboxy-terminal end of the b-APP and extends from the extracellular domain into the middle of the hydrophobic, membrane spanning domain of the precursor protein. The precise mechanism whereby b-AP accumulates in brain remains poorly defined.
