Pyroglutamate‐modified amyloid β‐peptides – AβN3(pE) – strongly affect cultured neuron and astrocyte survival
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
N-terminally truncated amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides are present in early and diffuse plaques of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), are overproduced in early onset familial AD and their amount seems to be directly correlated to the severity and the progression of the disease in AD and Down's syndrome (DS). The pyroglutamate-containing isoforms at position 3 [AbetaN3(pE)-40/42] represent the prominent form...
