Beta-amyloid production results from cleavage in the extracellular domain of APP by the beta-secretase (BACE1), which results in the production of the APP C-terminal fragment C99. This fragment is further cleaved by the gamma-secretase at residues 40-42 to produce beta-amyloid 40 and 42 peptides. Beta-amyloid aggregation and neuritic plaque formation are pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer disease. This peptide corresponds to the human beta-amyloid 25-35 peptide, which induces apoptosis in cells.Human: H-Gly-Ser-Asn-Lys-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-OH or H-GSNKGAIIGLM-OH
