MeSH Heading: Amyloid beta-Peptides
Tree Number(s): D12.644.024; D12.776.049.407.249.500; D12.776.543.039.500
Unique ID: D016229
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016229
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Alzheimer beta-Protein; Alzheimer's ABP; Alzheimer's Amyloid Fibril Protein; Amyloid AD-AP; Amyloid Fibril Protein, Alzheimer's; Amyloid Protein A4; Amyloid beta-Peptide; Amyloid beta-Protein; Amyloid beta-Proteins; beta Amyloid; beta-Amyloid Protein
