CAS Number: 189064-06-0Molecular Weight: 821.48Salt Form: TFAPurity: >96%Sequence (3-letter): Ac-Gln-Lys-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-NH2Sequence (1-letter): Ac-QKLVFF-NH2Storage: -20 °C or belowAmyloid Blocker (Acetyl-Amyloid b-Protein (15-20) amide) can bind specifically to the homologous region in Beta Amyloid (Aβ). Peptides containing the sequence KLVFF can bind specifically to this region in Aβ and can prevent full length amyloid fibril formation.ReferencesLin SY Chu HL (2003) "Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy used to evidence the prevention of beta-sheet formation of amyloid beta(1-40) peptide by a short amyloid fragment".
