General description
β Amyloid 1-42 is a derivative of integral membrane-bound amyloid precursor protein. It is the most important alloform of the Alzheimer′s peptide.
Application
β Amyloid 1-42, aβ, ultra-pure, HFIP, recombinant human has been used:
- to study its effect on the activity of mitochondrial BKCa (mitoBKCa) channels in human astrocytoma cells through patch-clamp technique
- to study its effect on alteration in protein levels of dystrophic neurites (DNs) forming proteins in mouse neuroblastoma cells
- to induce Alzheimer′s disease in a rat model for experimental studies
Biochem/physiol Actions
β Amyloid 1-42 causes neurotoxicity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). β Amyloid (βA) acts as a ligand for several receptors and other molecules involved in complex trafficking pathways in tissues and blood-brain barriers. βA along with amylin elevates cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and Ca2+ in turn activates multiple signaling pathway mediators like mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase A/B, and cFOS. It acts as the main source of AD-associated neuroinflammation.
Preparation Note
Clear dry film. Resuspend in 1% NH4OH at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Sonicate for 30 seconds to 1 minute after it has gone into solution. To bring into your solution: After resuspension, add 5x or 10x buffer stock (PBS, TBS) and water to bring to 1x buffer.
