This sequence carries terminal or reporter modifications (Glp), so no molecular formula or weight is published here — the modified mass must come from the lot certificate of analysis. Residue composition and charge describe the peptide backbone only. Composition figures above are derived arithmetically from the published sequence for the unmodified free peptide. Salt forms (commonly trifluoroacetate or acetate), amidation, and other modifications shift the observed mass — always reconcile against the current lot certificate of analysis.

General guidance for this class

Reference standards in the Neurodegenerative class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.

Mechanism & research applications

human pyroglutamate (3-40) amyloid sits within the Neurodegenerative research class (CPC reference AMYD-015). These peptides (amyloid-β, α-synuclein, tau, prion fragments) form ordered β-sheet aggregates and oligomeric species that are used to interrogate seeding, propagation, and cellular toxicity mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Investigators typically incorporate human pyroglutamate (3-40) amyloid as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. ThT fluorescence, AFM / TEM morphology, and neuronal-toxicity readouts (LDH, MTT).

Studied for

  • Aggregation kinetics (ThT, ANS fluorescence) studies
  • Oligomer- and fibril-mediated toxicity assays
  • Seeding and prion-like propagation models
  • Aggregation-inhibitor and antibody screening
