Abstract excerpt
The approximately 4 kD (39-43 amino acid) polypeptide (amyloid beta protein, A beta) deposited as amyloid in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is derived from a set of 695-770 residue precursor proteins collectively referred to as the amyloid beta-protein precursor (beta APP). Using immunoblotting techniques, metabolic labeling, and sequencing we have analyzed beta APP derivatives in medium conditioned by: (1) human...
