Beta-Amyloid (11-40)
Beta-amyloid peptide (A-beta), the major constituent of amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, is thought to be the cause of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Alzheimer’s diseased brains show significant levels of A-beta (11-40) and A-beta (11-42) 1. The ß-secretase enzyme or ß-amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme (BACE) generates the N terminus of Aß, producing full-length A-beta (1-40 and 1-42) and/or truncated A-beta (11-40 and 11-42) 1. The abundance of A-beta (11-40 and 11-42) produced by BACE suggests that they might be playing an important role in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.
