Illustration of amyloid beta peptide in its normal (left) and misfolded (right) forms. Misfolded amyloid beta peptides aggregate and form amyloid plaques that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. The normal function of amyloid beta peptide, which is cleaved from the transmembrane amyloid precursor protein (APP), is unknown. | |
