Seed peptide (GGVVIA)

This part encodes Amyloid 𝛽 seed (37-42) which has the ability to bind to A𝛽 plaques inside the brain.

Usage and Biology

A short peptide derived from amyloid beta oligomers (A𝛽 37-42), which is proven to bind amyloid beta plaques inside the brain and stop plaque formation. This peptide showed no cytotoxicity when tested inside hippocampal cell lines, so it will be suitable to use as the targeting domain for A𝛽 plaques inside our system.
