Svensk definition
Ett 4 kD-protein, bestående av 39-43 aminosyror, som uttrycks av en gen på kromosom 21. Det är den huvudsakliga proteinsubenheten i amyloida kärl- och plackfilament hos personer med Alzheimers sjukdom och hos äldre med Downs syndrom (trisomi 21). Proteinet uppträder företrädesvis i nervsystemet.
Engelsk definition
Peptides generated from AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES PRECURSOR. An amyloid fibrillar form of these peptides is the major component of amyloid plaques found in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and in aged individuals with trisomy 21 (DOWN SYNDROME). The peptide is found predominantly in the nervous system, but there have been reports of its presence in non-neural tissue.
