Aβ aggregation modulator-1

Aβ aggregation modulator-1 is a stimulator of amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrillogenesis. Aβ aggregation modulator-1 binds hydrophobic residues in Aβ peptides and stabilizes β-sheet-rich protofibrils and fibrils. Aβ aggregation modulator-1 accelerates Aβ polymerization and reduces concentrations of small, toxic Aβ oligomers in heterogeneous aggregation reactions. Aβ aggregation modulator-1 suppresses long-term potentiation (LTP) inhibition by Aβ oligomers in hippocampal brain slices. Aβ aggregation modulator-1 can be used for the study of Alzheimer's disease (AD) [1].
