Description

General description

Amyloid precursor proteins (APPs) are transmembrane glycoproteins that are found in a wide range of tissues. APPs have 3 main isoforms, namely, APP695, APP751 and APP770 that are derived from alternative splicing events in cells. It is expressed at high levels in the brain. APP gene is mapped to human chromosome 21q11.2-q21. It is a 695 amino acid protein which possesses a large ectodomain and comparatively short intracellular region.

The immunogen sequence is identical to the APP isoforms APP₇₅₁ and APP₇₇₀ and is highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in rat and mouse APP₆₉₅. The antibody recognizes APP₆₉₅, APP₇₅₁ and APP₇₇₀.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal of human APP₆₉₅ (amino acids 46-60) conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein, N-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• western blotting

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

SH-SY5Y cell lysates were analyzed by western blot using rabbit anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein, C-Terminal as the primary antibody at a 1:500 dilution.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amyloid precursor proteins (APPs) regulates cell growth, motility, neurite outgrowth and cell survival. The intracellular C-terminus of APP serves as a transcriptional regulator and as a receptor for kinesin-1-mediated axonal transport. Alzheimer′s disease is characterized by deposition of amyloid in the central nervous system, in neurite plaques and on cerebral vasculature. Mutations in the APP gene are linked with rare forms of autosomal dominant familial Alzheimer′s Disease (FAD). APPs undergo post-translational processing including N- and O-glycosylation, phosphorylation and sulfation.

Physical form
