β-Amyloid (10-35), amide

β-Amyloid (10-35), amide is composed of 26 aa (10-35 residues of the Aβ peptide) and is the primary component of the amyloid plaques of Alzheimer’s disease.

Store at -20℃ for one year（Powder）；Store at 2-4℃ for two weeks；Store at -20℃ for six months after dissolution.

10 mM in H2O

β-Amyloid (10-35) is selected based on the following considerations: (1) β-Amyloid (10-35) incorporates the core region, point mutations of which significantly obstruct fibril formation and have been used to generate inhibitors of fibrillogenesis; (2) β-Amyloid (10-35) retains the ability to add to bona fide Alzheimer’s plaques, in contrast to other truncated peptides, and forms fibrils morphologically similar to those of the full length peptide; (3) Of most importance, the full length peptide, Aβ(1-42), is intractable for the controlled formation of fibrils from aqueous media because at the earliest time points, some of the peptide exists as an amorphous precipitate. In contrast, the use of β-Amyloid (10-35) allows the reproducible and controlled formation of fibrils from aqueous solutions, under defined conditions of pH, ionic strength, and peptide concentration and thus yields the required homogeneous fibrils.
