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.

To simultaneously study several biomarkers for Alzheimer disease (AD), we used the xMAP technology to develop and evaluate a multiparametric bead-based assay for quantification of beta-amyloid((1-42)) [Abeta((1-42))], total tau (T-TAU), and hyperphosphorylated tau [P-TAU((181P))] in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We compared

The amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is believed to be the key mediator of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Abeta is most often characterized as an incidental catabolic byproduct that lacks a normal physiological role. However, Abeta has been shown to be a

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. Can I dissolve and use the product directly in DMSO or PBS upon receiving it, or is it necessary to first resuspend it in 1% NH4OH, then add PBS and water to adjust the concentration as described in the answer to the above question?

    1 answer
    1. No information is available on dissolving directly in DMSO or PBS. Resuspension in 1% NH4OH at a concentration of 1 mg/mL is recommended. Sonicate for 30 seconds to 1 minute after the solution is achieved. To prepare the final solution, add 5x or 10x buffer stock (PBS, TBS) and water to achieve a 1x buffer concentration.

  2. What's the molecular weight and solubility of β Amyloid 1-42 (AG968)?

    1 answer
    1. This material has a molecular weight of 4514.2 Daltons and may be resuspended at 1 mg/mL in 1% NH4OH with sonication for 30 seconds to 1 minute. After resuspension, add 5x or 10x buffer stock (PBS, TBS) and water to bring the concentration to 1x.
