Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious and common age related dementia which is characterized by the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Senile plaques are extracellular accumulations of insoluble proteins found in cortical regions. A major component of senile plaques is beta,-amyloid, a.k.a. Abeta, a peptide predominantly of 42 or 40 amino acids. The Abeta, peptide is derived from a section of the membrane spanning domain and the immediate extracellular region of a much larger protein called the amyloid precursor protein (APP). This is an abundant protein of poorly understood function. The Abeta, peptides are generated by the activity of proteases called secretases, specifically the beta, and gamma, secretases. Certain mutations in the APP gene are associated with familial forms of AD, as are mutations in the genes encoding proteins forming the secretase enzymes, in line with the hypothesis that Abeta, accumulation is central to the AD disease process. Our antibody recognizes amino acids 1-16 of the Abeta, peptide and works well on western blots, on formalin fixed sections and as a capture reagent in ELISA. It was originally developed in the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville in the laboratory of Dr. Todd Golde.
