{"product_id":"biolegend-805511","title":"Biolegend, 805511, Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-β-Amyloid, 1-42 Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmyloid beta (Aβ or Amyloid beta) denotes peptides of 36-43 amino acids in length that are crucially involved in Alzheimer's disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients. The peptides result from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is cut by certain enzymes to yield Aβ. Aβ molecules can aggregate to form oligomers (known as \"seeds\") which are believed to be able to induce other Aβ molecules to also take the misfolded oligomeric form, leading to a chain reaction akin to a prion infection. The seeds or the resulting amyloid plaques are toxic to nerve cells. The other protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease, tau protein, also forms such prion-like misfolded oligomers, and there is some evidence that misfolded Aβ can induce tau to misfold.\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light.

According to the UniProtKB database, APP (ID# P05067) has 11 isoforms (34 to ~90 kD) and the 770 form has been designated as the canonical form. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form expressed in neuronal tissue. Isoforms APP751 and APP770 are widely expressed in non-neuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T-lymphocytes. Aβ denotes peptides of 36-43 amino acids generated from cleavage of APP by secretases. Aβ has an apparent molecular mass of about 4 kD.\u003cbr\u003e\nDistribution: Tissue sources: Primarily nervous system, but also adipose tissue, intestine, muscle. Distribution: Cytosol, endosomes, nucleus, plasma membrane, extracellular, and golgi apparatus.\u003cbr\u003e\nFunction: The normal function of Aβ is not well understood. Several potential physiological roles have been proposed, including: activation of kinase enzymes; protection against oxidative stress; regulation of cholesterol transport; transcription factor, and as an anti-microbial agent.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiology Area: Cell Biology, Neurodegeneration, Neuroscience, Protein Misfolding and Aggregation\u003cbr\u003e\nMolecular Family: APP\/β-Amyloid\u003cbr\u003e\nAntigen References: Kumar A, et al. 2015.
