The accumulation of plaques consisting of Abeta is one of the histopathological hallmarks of AD. Abeta is the product of serial cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) first by beta and then by gamma secretases to yield Abeta peptides of varying lengths, predominantly the 37-, 40-, and 42- residue forms.
