β-Amyloid (1-14),mouse,rat is a 1 to 14 fragment of Amyloid-β peptide. β-Amyloid (1-14),mouse,rat is produced through the proteolytic processing of a transmembrane protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP), by β- and γ-secretases. β-Amyloid (1-14),mouse,rat accumulation in the brain is proposed to be an early toxic event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dementia associated with plaques and tangles in the brain[1].

Galanin (1-16), mouse, porcine, rat is a potent agonist of the hippocampal galanin receptor with a Kd of 3 nM, and it exhibits high biological activity on locus coeruleus neurons.
Cortistatin 14 is a somatastatin-like neuropeptide with neuronal depressant and sleep modulating properties. Cortistatin 14 is present primarily in the cortex and hippocampus.
This is an N-terminal fragment of beta amyloid. It consists of amino acid residues 1 to 9. Truncated beta amyloid peptide (10-40) still forms amyloid fibrils and shows fibril polymorphism.
