Beta-Amyloid (1-40) Binding Peptide, Biotin-labeled – 1 mg

Overview

The Beta-Amyloid (1-40) Binding Peptide, Biotin-labeled is a specialized 20 amino acid peptide designed to bind specifically to the amyloid form of beta-Amyloid (1-40). This innovative peptide does not bind to the monomeric form, making it a valuable tool for researchers studying Alzheimer’s disease. With its unique targeting capabilities, this peptide could serve as a carrier molecule for delivering therapeutic agents directly to amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, potentially reversing some of the plaque’s toxic effects.

Key Features

• Biotin-labeled for easy detection and isolation.
• Highly specific binding to amyloid beta plaques.
• Potential for targeted therapy delivery in Alzheimer’s research.
• Facilitates imaging of amyloid plaques in affected brains.
• Comprises a sequence of 20 amino acids for effective binding.
