Anti-Amyloid β 1-40 [Clone Ab40.1] - 100 μg

Beta-amyloid, a 40-43 amino acid peptide formed from amyloid precursor protein by enzymes like gamma-secretase, is central to Alzheimer's disease research. The two primary C-terminal variants, Amyloid beta (1-40) and Amyloid beta (1-42), are the dominant forms of this protein. Both amyloid beta (40) and amyloid beta (42) alloforms are key constituents of the extracellular amyloid plaques observed in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Ongoing research into these specific beta-amyloid peptides is crucial for developing Alzheimer's disease diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.
