Preferred Label : amyloid beta-Peptides;
MeSH definition : Peptides generated from AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES PRECURSOR. An amyloid fibrillar form
of these peptides is the major component of amyloid plaques found in individuals with
Alzheimer's disease and in aged individuals with trisomy 21 (DOWN SYNDROME). The peptide
is found predominantly in the nervous system, but there have been reports of its presence
in non-neural tissue.;
