  2. Amyloid beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_beta

    Amyloid beta (Aβ, Abeta or beta-amyloid) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. [2] The peptides derive from the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP), which is cleaved by beta secretase and gamma secretase to yield Aβ in a cholesterol ...

  3. Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomarkers_of_Alzheimer's...

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is composed of a family of peptides produced by proteolytic cleavage of the type I transmembrane spanning glycoprotein amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP). Amyloid plaque Aβ protein species ends in residue 40 or 42, [ 4 ] but it is suspected that Aβ42 form is crucial in the pathogenesis of AD.

  4. P3 peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3_peptide

    p3 peptide also known as amyloid β- peptide (Aβ) 17–40/42 is the peptide resulting from the α-and γ-secretase cleavage from the amyloid precursor protein . It is known to be the major constituent of diffuse plaques observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains and pre- amyloid plaques in people affected by Down syndrome .

  5. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a small protein, most often 40 or 42 amino acids in length, that is released from a longer parent protein called the Aβ-precursor protein (APP). [24] APP is produced by many types of cell in the body, but it is especially abundant in neurons. It is a single-pass transmembrane protein, passing once through cellular ...

  6. Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_disease

    Early onset familial Alzheimer's disease can be attributed to mutations in one of three genes: those encoding amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) and presenilins PSEN1 and PSEN2. [40] Most mutations in the APP and presenilin genes increase the production of a small protein called amyloid beta (Aβ)42, which is the main component of amyloid ...

  7. Amyloid-beta precursor protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid-beta_precursor_protein

    Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many tissues and concentrated in the synapses of neurons. It functions as a cell surface receptor [ 5 ] and has been implicated as a regulator of synapse formation , [ 6 ] neural plasticity , [ 7 ] antimicrobial activity, [ 8 ] and iron export . [ 9 ]

  8. Infinite compositions of analytic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_compositions_of...

    Let {f n} be a sequence of functions analytic on a simply-connected domain S. Suppose there exists a compact set Ω ⊂ S such that for each n , f n ( S ) ⊂ Ω. Forward (inner or right) Compositions Theorem — { F n } converges uniformly on compact subsets of S to a constant function F ( z ) = λ .

  9. Net (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, more specifically in general topology and related branches, a net or Moore–Smith sequence is a function whose domain is a directed set. The codomain of this function is usually some topological space. Nets directly generalize the concept of a sequence in a metric space.
