(Glu20)-Amyloid beta-Protein (1-42)

Description: (Glu20)-Amyloid beta-Protein (1-42) represents a variant of amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) that fibrillizes more slowly due to the Glu20 mutation, which diminishes Abeta42's tendency to aggregate and inhibits the accumulation of this slowly fibrillizing peptide. Amyloid beta-protein is the principal constituent of amyloid deposits in the vascular system and brain parenchyma in Alzheimer's disease [1] [2].
