APP antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids of human amyloid A4 protein precursor (APP) corresponding to the amino terminus of the 4K Ab peptide generated by b- and g-secretases The peptide sequences are identical to those of rabbit, pig, bovine, guinea pig, and chicken.

Accumulation of the amyloid-beta peptide (alphabeta) in the cerebral cortex is a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The b-amyloid protein precursor (APP) is cleaved by beta-secretase, producing a soluble derivative of the protein and a membrane anchored 99-amino acid carboxy-terminal fragment (C99). The C99 fragment serves as substrate for g-secretase to generate the 4 kDa amyloid-b peptide (alphabeta), which is deposited in the brains of all suffers of Alzheimer's disease.Synonyms: ABPP, APPI, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid Precursor Protein, CVAP, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, PreA4, Protease nexin-II
