The Aβ(1–38) peptide is a negative regulator of the Aβ(1–42) peptide implicated in Alzheimer disease progression
Abstract The pool of β-Amyloid (Aβ) length variants detected in preclinical and clinical Alzheimer disease (AD) samples suggests a diversity of roles for Aβ peptides. We examined how a naturally occurring variant, e.g. Aβ(1–38), interacts with the AD-related variant, Aβ(1–42), and the predominant ph...

Aβ(1–38) also reverses any loss of MTT conversion induced by Aβ(1–40) and Aβ(1–42) in HT-22 hippocampal neurons and APOE ε4-positive human fibroblasts, although the combination of Aβ(1–38) and Aβ(1–42) inhibits MTT conversion in APOE ε4-negative fibroblasts.
