Alzheimers Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognition in the elderly. One of the most important and initial step involves proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP, chromosome 21) releasing short 40, 42 & 43aa peptides (beta amyloid1-40, 1-42, and 1-43). Polymerization of b-amyloid (Ab) and subsequent neuronal deposit (amyloid) leads to the degeneration of neurons involved in memory and cognition. Ab deposits have also been found to contain 2 additional proteins termed a-synuclein and b-synuclein. The 140aa a-synucleins is identical with non- Ab component (NACP) of AD. The 134aa human b-synuclein is homologous to 14kD bovine phosphoneuroprotein 14. Mutations in a-synuclein gene causing a replacement of alanine with a threonine may cause the protein to misfold. Synucleins are primarily expressed in the brain. At least 3 forms: two large (140aa SYN-1 & 149aa SYN-2) and a small form (SYN-3, 42aa) are produced by alternative splicing. Source: Synthetic peptide corresponding to full-length human beta-Amyloid, 1-40 (40aa). Molecular Weight: 4329 Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 50-100 ng of control peptide/well Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20C.
