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.
