Technical Data
A2275-87S
APP (Amyloid beta A4 Protein, ABPP, APPI, Alzheimer Disease Amyloid Protein, Cerebral Vascular Amyloid Peptide, CVAP, PreA4, Protease Nexin-II, PN-II, A4, AD1)
Description:
Accumulation of the amyloid-b peptide (Ab) in the cerebral cortex is a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The b-amyloid protein precursor (APP) is cleaved by b-secretase, resulting in a soluble derivative of the protein and a membrane anchored 99aa carboxy-terminal fragment (C99). The C99 fragment serves as substrate for g-secretase to generate the 4kD amyloid-b peptide (Ab), that is deposited in the brain of patients of Alzheimer's disease.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 2-4ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
