Amyloid β-Protein (1-14)

The N-terminal Aβ fragments Aβ1-14, Aβ1-15 (H-6368), and Aβ1-16 (H-2958) are elevated in cell media and in CSF in response to γ-secretase inhibitor treatment. The presence of these small peptides is consistent with a catabolic amyloid precursor protein cleavage pathway by β- followed by α-secretase. It has been shown that Aβ1-14, Aβ1-15, and Aβ1-16 increase dose-dependently in response to γ-secretase inhibitor treatment while Aβ1-42 levels are unchanged.
