Description
APP770 fragment (660–680) is a 21-amino-acid peptide fragment corresponding to residues 660–680 of human amyloid precursor protein isoform APP770. Numbering follows the 770-residue reference sequence in UniProt P05067, allowing this fragment to be aligned directly with other APP-derived materials. Sequence reference: UniProt P05067.
Research context
This fragment crosses the boundary at APP770 residue 672, the N-terminal start of the Aβ sequence. It combines residues upstream of that boundary with an N-terminal portion of Aβ, providing a defined local sequence for research on APP processing regions and molecular recognition.
APP is a membrane protein whose proteolytic processing produces multiple extracellular and C-terminal fragments, including amyloid-beta peptides. APP research examines how local sequence, cleavage boundaries, and interactions within the C-terminal tail relate to protein processing and signaling. Individual fragments provide defined sequences for studying selected parts of this broader molecular system. Research reference.
Research applications
- Mapping defined APP770 sequence regions and fragment boundaries.
- Comparative characterization of overlapping APP-derived chains.
- Investigating region-specific molecular recognition and protein-interaction sequences.
