Product Description: β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 is an effective brain amyloid-β (Abeta) degrader. Abeta deposits are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the related toxicity arises from its β-sheet conformation and aggregation. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 can repeatedly induce the degradation of fibrillary amyloid deposits in vivo. Therefore, β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 can prevent and/or reverse neuronal contraction caused by Abeta and reduce the range of interleukin IL-1beta positive microglial-like cells around Abeta deposits. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 can reduce the size and/or number of brain amyloid plaques in AD. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 is labeled with a hydrophobic benzyl alcohol (HBA) tag and shows a bright blue color under acidic conditions, which can be used for quantitative determination.
