Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common neurodenerative disorder in elderly people. It has been demonstrated that AD has biological cause and is characterized by the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles mainly in cerebral cortex and hippocampus brain regions. beta-Amyloid 1-40 (Ab40) and...

Amyloid Beta-protein/amyloid A4 or amyloid Beta-peptide is derived from the amyloid Beta-precursor protein. Beta-amyloid is an extracellular filamentous protein component of amyloid cores, neuritic plaques and is also found as a deposit in neurofibrillary tangles. In man, Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause...

Alzheimers disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of senile plaques in the brain and blood vessel walls. Amyloid Beta A4 (Ab4) protein has been found to be the principal constituent of senile plaques of ADs patients. The amyloid beta-protein precursor (APP) is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 4kD Ab4...
