beta-amyloid

A4, β—amyloid Neurology A 4 kD polypeptide encoded on chromosome 21 arising from altered processing of amyloid precursor protein, an integral membrane glycoprotein secreted as a truncated carboxyl-terminal molecule; BA forms plaques in the brains of Pts with Alzheimer's disease–AD, Down syndrome, infectious encephalopathy, cerebral amyloid angiopathy; BA is found in skin, intestine, adrenal gland. See Alzheimer's disease, Amyloid, Presenilin. Cf Alpha2-macroglobulin.

Alzheimer's disease amyloid amyloid beta-protein APP beta-amyloid protein dementia neuritic plaque Senile plaque soluble amyloid beta protein precursor test			Byline: ANI Washington, Nov 12 (ANI): Scientists have identified a novel mouse gene (Rps23r1) that reduces the accumulation of two toxic proteins that are major players in Alzheimer's disease: amyloid beta and tau. Novel mouse gene could lead to new Alzheimer's treatments by Asian News International Researchers monitored levels of amyloid beta, a protein fragment known to be linked to Alzheimer's, in the brains of mice with symptoms of the disease. DEMENTIASLEEPLINK by The Mirror (London, England) They found that preventing the mice from sleeping caused a 25% increase in amyloid beta levels.
