Pathogenic APP cleavage generates which peptide?

Aβ42, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

Protein

In Alzheimer’s disease, amyloid plaques are primarily formed by:

Amyloid-β peptide is the scientifically accurate answer to this question. Within the study of Protein Folding, this concept is well-established through extensive research and is documented in standard scientific literature. The specific properties, mechanisms, or characteristics of Amyloid-β peptide directly address what is being asked. Among the other options, Tau protein, α-Synuclein, and PrPSc do not correctly answer this question because they either refer to different concepts, describe properties of other molecules or processes, or represent common misconceptions about this topic.
