Background | Our Amyloid Beta pyroglutamate 3-42 (pyro Aβ) Pre-formed Fibrils are generated from Amyloid Beta Peptide 3-42 pre-treated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). Our pyro Aβ3-42 fibrils present as primarily long strands when observed under TEM and AFM, and have a unique high molecular weight signal on a Western Blot with an anti-amyloid beta antibody. Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is generated by protease cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP), which aggregates into oligomers, protofibrils, fibrils, and ultimately plaques. The accumulation of Aβ plaques in the brain is considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and most of the drugs tested for AD in the past 20 years have targeted amyloid beta accumulation. Pyroglutamate Aβ 3-42 is an N-terminally truncated peptide species that is modified by glutaminyl cyclase and has been reported to compromise 15-45% of total amyloid beta deposits in the brains of AD patients. Pyroglutamate Aβ 3-42 exhibits higher aggregation propensity and neurotoxicity compared with full-length Aβ 1-42 and is an active target in the next-generation AD therapeutic development. |
