Protocol

Specificity / Sensitivity

APP/beta-Amyloid (NAB228) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of APP/beta-Amyloid protein. Although this antibody recognizes both the phospho and non-phospho forms of the protein, it has been shown to prefer the phosphorylated form in some systems.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Monkey, Bovine

The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

Dog, Pig

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with beta-amyloid and the epitope maps to the amino terminus of beta-amyloid (Lee et al., 2003).

Background

Amyloid β (Aβ) precursor protein (APP) is a 100-140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that exists as several isoforms (1). The amino acid sequence of APP contains the amyloid domain, which can be released by a two-step proteolytic cleavage (1). The extracellular deposition and accumulation of the released Aβ fragments form the main components of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (1). APP can be phosphorylated at several sites, which may affect the proteolytic processing and secretion of this protein (2-5). Phosphorylation at Thr668 (a position corresponding to the APP695 isoform) by cyclin-dependent kinase is cell-cycle dependent and peaks during G2/M phase (4). APP phosphorylated at Thr668 exists in adult rat brain and correlates with cultured neuronal differentiation (5,6).
