Amyloid Beta Peptide

how to define the amyloid protein and amyloid beta peptide
What is 1-40 or 1-42 means Aβ1-40-42 Aβ1 means

Senile plaques vary in protein composition, both in terms of types of peptides Abeta and other proteins in the plaques. Monomer Abeta peptides are 39-43 amino acids in length and come in two main forms: Abeta1 Abeta1-42-40.

The N-terminal peptides Abeta is known to be heterogeneous. In senile plaques, the main N-terminally truncated Abeta peptides are Abeta3-40/42, and Abeta11-40/42 Abeta17-40/42.

amyloid fibrils are composed of aggregated Abeta peptides.

When you look at the AD brain tissue that you can find amyloid plaques, but it is also called beta deposits.
