amyloidβ (18) peptide

MLCK inhibitor peptide 18 acetate is a selective competitive inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase (IC50 = 50 nM). Displays 4000-fold selectivity over CaM kinase II and does not inhibit PKA. Cell permeable.

Amyloid β Peptide (42-1)(human) acetate is the inactive form of Amyloid β Peptide (1-42). Amyloid β Peptide (42-1)(human) acetate is a 42-amino acid peptide which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease.

Amyloid-β (25-35) (Aβ (25-35)) is an 11-residue fragment of the Aβ protein that retains the physical and biological characteristics of the full length peptide. It forms fibrils that react to thioflavin T and Congo red and are organized in a cross-β arrangement of β-strands similar to Aβ (1-40) and Aβ (1-42) fibrils. Aggregated Aβ (25-35) decreases the viability of rat adrenal PC12 cells. It also decreases the viability of primary rat cortical neurons at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 30 μM. In vivo, intracerebral injection of Aβ (25-35) (20 nmol) in rats induces lesions of neuronal and tissue loss. Aggregated Aβ (25-35) administered intracerebroventricularly to rats induces learning and memory impairments in the Y-maze, novel object recognition, and contextual fear conditioning tests.

β-Amyloid peptide(16-20), with the amino acid sequence (KLVFF) derived from Amyloid-β (Abeta), functions as an efficient inhibitor of Abeta fibril formation. This compound is modified with RG-/-GR-NH2 residues at both its N- and C-terminal ends to enhance solubility [1].

Amyloid precursor c-terminal peptide has the amino acid sequence Gly-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Pro-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Phe-Phe-Glu-Gln-Met-Gln-Asn. APP is best known as the precursor molecule whose proteolysis generates beta-amyloid (Aβ), a 37 to 49 amino acid peptide whose am

Intracerebroventricular administration of synthetic peptides Beta-amyloid (12-20), (12-28), and (18-28) causes amnesia in mice. These peptides have only amino acid residues VFF at position 18 to 20 in common, suggesting the amnestic effect of the triad.

Amyloid-Forming peptide GNNQQNY, a biologically active heptapeptide derived from the N-terminal prion-determining domain of yeast Sup35, is instrumental in amyloid fibril formation. Its atomic oligomeric structure has been detailed, serving as an excellent model for investigating early-stage aggregation. The peptide can form three stable β-sheet structures: in-register parallel, off-register parallel, and anti-parallel. Notably, the in-register parallel dimer aligns closely with amyloid β-sheet architecture, relying on fewer interpeptide hydrogen bonds and emphasizing hydrophobic interactions, which enhances conformational entropy relative to the anti-parallel arrangement.
