Product Summary for Human Amyloid beta (aa1-40) Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine® Human Amyloid beta (aa1-40) Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human Amyloid beta (aa1-40) in cell culture supernates and cerebrospinal fluid. It contains synthetic human Amyloid beta (aa1-40) and antibodies raised against the synthetic peptide. Results obtained for naturally occurring human Amyloid beta (aa1-40) showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human Amyloid beta (aa1-40).

Background: Amyloid beta

Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) is a type I transmembrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed on cell surfaces. It undergoes complex proteolytic processing and is cleaved by alpha-, beta-, and gamma-Secretases to generate soluble APP alpha, soluble APP beta, and Amyloid beta (A beta) fragments of several lengths. One of these fragments, A beta 42, generated by beta- and gamma-Secretase activities, has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Aberrantly high levels of this peptide form and accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients to create the senile plaques characteristic of the disease.
