anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein antibody [NT 4A2]

Aβ40, Aβ42 and Aβ43 are different only at the few C-end amino acids. While the C-end amino acids showed no species-specificity in mammalians, the N-terminal amino acid sequences have minor discrepancies between difference species. Amyloid beta peptides Aβ42 and Aβ40 have been investigated extensively for predicating Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study on A Aβ43 in brain showed that Aβ43 is more fibrillogenic than the other amyloid beta peptides and may be useful as a biomarker or therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Antibody to N-terminal sequence can bind to all the three amyloid beta peptides.
