IHC image of ab126649 staining in human Alzheimer hippocampus formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab126649, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-Arginine and sodium azide (ab126649).

Supplementary information

Beta amyloid also known as amyloid beta peptide is a small protein fragment composed of 36-43 amino acids. It typically has a mass of approximately 4 kDa. This peptide primarily emerges from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) through enzymatic actions by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase. Beta amyloid is commonly expressed in the brain particularly within the neuronal tissue. It is known for aggregating into insoluble fibrils leading to the formation of beta amyloid plaques. Researchers often study beta amyloid using tools like amyloid beta IHC and with specific antibodies like moab 2 and 2e9 which help in detecting its presence and distribution.
Biological function summary

In the context of neuronal function beta amyloid is significant yet contentious. It is believed to play a role in synaptic transmission and may partake in homeostatic regulation. However the true physiological role still remains not well defined. Beta amyloid often self-assembles into oligomers and further into beta amyloid plaques which are part of a larger complex that includes various cellular and molecular components. The plaques contribute to neural pathway disruptions and may interfere with synaptic connections.

Pathways

Beta amyloid integrates into important cellular processes such as the amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic pathways. The amyloidogenic pathway involves the sequential cleavage of APP by beta and gamma secretases leading to beta amyloid release which can aggregate. In contrast the non-amyloidogenic pathway mediated by alpha-secretase precludes beta amyloid formation. Proteins such as presenilin-1 and nicastrin are closely tied to beta amyloid formation due to their roles in the gamma-secretase complex.

Beta amyloid is primarily associated with Alzheimer's disease where its accumulations form characteristic amyloid plaques observed in patients' brains. These plaques are implicated in neuronal damage and cognitive decline. Beyond Alzheimer's beta amyloid may also connect to cerebral amyloid angiopathy a condition marked by amyloid deposits in the blood vessels of the brain leading to increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Recent studies suggest other proteins such as tau link closely with beta amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's promoting neurofibrillary tangles and synaptic degeneration.

Target data

Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Interaction between APP molecules on neighboring cells promotes synaptogenesis (PubMed : 25122912). Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(o) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity (By similarity). Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1 (By similarity). By acting as a kinesin I membrane receptor, plays a role in axonal anterograde transport of cargo towards synapses in axons (PubMed : 17062754, PubMed : 23011729). Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Induces a AGER-dependent pathway that involves activation of p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1.. Amyloid-beta peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. In vitro, can reduce Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) to Cu(+) and Fe(2+), respectively. Amyloid-beta peptides bind to lipoproteins and apolipoproteins E and J in the CSF and to HDL particles in plasma, inhibiting metal-catalyzed oxidation of lipoproteins. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation. Interaction with overexpressed HADH2 leads to oxidative stress and neurotoxicity. Also binds GPC1 in lipid rafts.. Amyloid-beta protein 42. More effective reductant than amyloid-beta protein 40. May activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses.. Appicans elicit adhesion of neural cells to the extracellular matrix and may regulate neurite outgrowth in the brain.. The gamma-CTF peptides as well as the caspase-cleaved peptides, including C31, are potent enhancers of neuronal apoptosis.
