Description: Transthyretin, a plasma transport protein that is also relatively abundant in cerebrospinal fluid, has been shown to bind to Aβ, inhibit aggregation, and reduce its toxicity. Previously, we identified strand G of transthyretin as a specific Aβ binding domain. In this work we further explore and define the necessary features of this binding domain. We demonstrate that peptides derived from transthyretin bind Aβ and inhibit its toxicity. We also show that, although both transthyretin and transthyretin-derived peptides bind Aβ and inhibit toxicity, they differ significantly in their effect on Aβ aggregation.
