| Bioactivity | Amyloid 17-42 (Aβ(17-42)) is a major constituent of diffuse plaques in Alzheimer's disease and cerebellar pre-amyloid in Down's syndrome, derived by alpha- and gamma-secretase cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Amyloid 17-42 can induce neuronal apoptosis via a Fas-like/caspase-8 activation pathway[1]. |
| Invitro | Amyloid 17-42 (20 μM; 48 h) leads to apoptosis in SH-SY5Y and IMR-32 cells[1]. Amyloid 17-42 (20 μM; 48 h, 72 h) activates caspase-8 and caspase-3, induced poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage[1]. Amyloid 17-42 (20 μM) moderately activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)[1].Amyloid 17-42 induces neuronal apoptosis via a Fas-like/caspase-8 activation pathway[1].
