AnaSpec Highlights Beta-Amyloid (1-40) Peptides

Fremont, CA, August 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- ß-Amyloid (1-40) together with ß-Amyloid (1-42) are two major C-terminal variants of the Aß protein constituting the majority of Aßs, with Ab (1-42) being more neurotoxic. These undergo post-secretory aggregation and deposition in the Alzheimer’s diseased brain.1-5
