β amyloid (29 40)

β-Amyloid (29-40) is a fragment of Amyloid-β peptide. Alzheimer's beta amyloid peptide (29-40/42) C-terminal fragments exhibit physical and chemical properties similar to fusion peptides of viral proteins, inducing liposome fusion in vitro.

β-Amyloid (29-40) acetate is a fragment of the β-amyloid peptide and can be used in related research on Alzheimer's disease.

Pramlintide is a non-amyloidogenic analog of the antidiabetic peptide hormone amylin that contains proline residues substituted at positions 25, 28, and 29. It stimulates cAMP production in HEK293 cells expressing human amylin receptor 1a (AMY1a), AMY2a, and AMY3a (EC50s = 0.35, 22.9, and 0.89 nM, respectively). Pramlintide inhibits human islet amyloid polypeptide fibrilization in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, pramlintide (200 pg/kg) reduces brain levels of amyloid-β (1-40) and increases spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze in the Tg2576 transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
