Application

Amyloid β (Aβ) refers to peptides derived from Amyloid precursor protein that vary in length from 36-43 amino acids. Aβ(s) peptides, their peptide fragments and mutated fragments are used to study a wide range of metabolic and regulatory functions including activation of kinases, regulation of cholesterol transport, function as a transcription factor, and regulators of inflammation. Aβ(s) peptides and their peptide fragments are also used to study oxidative stress, metal binding and mechanisms of protein cross-linking in the context of diseases such as Alzheimer′s disease and neurodegeneration.

The brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients have large numbers of plaques that contain amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides which are believed to play a pivotal role in AD pathology. Several lines of evidence have established the inhibitory role of Abeta

The amyloid beta-peptide (A beta)-associated free radical oxidative stress model for neuronal death in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain predicts that neuronal protein oxidation is a consequence of A beta-associated free radicals [8]. In this study we have used both in

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. It is reported that enzymatic degradation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plays a pivotal role in Aβ accumulation and type-2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) participates in Aβ processing in the brain; however

Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) increases apolipoprotein E (apoE) levels in astrocytes which could alter lipid trafficking. The mechanism for the Abeta-induced increase in apoE levels is not well understood. It is well established that stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors (betaARs) increases cAMP

Increasing evidence supports a role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previously, we identified a neuron-glia signaling pathway whereby Aβ acts as an upstream activator of astroglial nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), leading to the release of
