AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN (1-40) (MOUSE, RAT)

β-Amyloid (1-40) (rat) is a rat form of the amyloid β-peptide, which accumulates as an insoluble extracellular deposit around neurons, giving rise to the senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). β-Amyloid (1-40) (rat) increases 45Ca2+ influx, induces neurodegeneration in the rat hippocampal neurons of the CA1 subfield. β-Amyloid (1-40) (rat) induces apoptosis. β-Amyloid (1-40) (rat) can be used for the research of Alzheimer's disease[1][2].
