Anti-APP A4, a.a. 66-81 of APP {NT} Antibody, clone 22C11, Alexa Fluor^™ 647 Conjugate

Amyloid beta A4 protein (UniProt P05067; also known as ABPP, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid precursor protein, APP, APPI, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, CVAP, PN-II, PreA4, Protease nexin-II) is encoded by the APP (also known as A4, AD1) gene (Gene ID 351) in human. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is initially produced with a signal peptide sequence (a.a. 1-17), the removal of which yields the mature protein with a large extracellular portion (a.a. 18-699), followed by a transmembrane segment (a.a. 700-723) and a cytoplasmic (a.a. 724-770) tail. APP can be further processed by the α-, β-, and γ-secretases in two alternative processing pathways. In the non-amyloidogenic pathway, APP is first cleaved by the plasma membrane-localized α-secretase to generate an N-terminal extracellular sAPPα fragment (a.a. 18-687) and a membrane-bound C-terminal fragment C83 (CTFα), which can be further cleaved by γ-secretase to produce a non-toxic small peptide p3 and a cytoplasmic APP intracellular domain (AICD). In the amyloidogenic pathway, APP undergoes β-cleavage in BACE-1 (β-site APP-cleaving enzyme)-enriched endosomes to generate an N-terminal extracellular sAPPβ fragment (a.a. 18-671) and a membrane-bound C-terminal fragment C99 (CTFβ). Subsequent cleavage of C99 by γ-secretase releases the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) and AICD. Aβ accumulation in the cortical and hippocampal regions of the brain is a major pathological feature of Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
