Pyroglutamate-modified Amyloid Beta (N-terminal Truncated) (AβpE)
- Target
- AβpE
- Molecular classification
- Peptide, Amyloid beta peptide, Modified peptide
01
Overview
Pyroglutamate-modified amyloid beta represents a highly pathogenic subset of amyloid-beta peptides characterized by N-terminal truncation and conversion of the third amino acid residue into pyroglutamic acid. This modification enhances peptide aggregation, stability against degradation, membrane-disruptive activity, and neurotoxicity—making it a significant contributor to Alzheimer’s disease pathology and an important target for biomarker development or therapeutic intervention.
