Anti-Amyloid beta / APP

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Amyloid beta, also called Abeta and APP, denotes peptides that are crucially involved in Alzheimers disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients. Several potential activities have been discovered for Amyloid beta, including activation of kinase enzymes, functioning as a transcription factor, and anti-microbial activity (potentially associated with it pro-inflammatory activity). Moreover, monomeric Amyloid beta is indicated to protect neurons by quenching metal-inducible oxygen radical generation and thereby inhibiting neurotoxicity. Protein function: Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Interaction between APP molecules on neighboring cells promotes synaptogenesis (PubMed:25122912). Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis- inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity. Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. By acting as a kinesin I membrane receptor, plays a role in axonal anterograde transport of cargo towards synapes in axons (PubMed:17062754, PubMed:23011729). Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Induces a AGER-dependent pathway that involves activation of p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1. [The UniProt Consortium]
