UASt regulates expression of a cDNA encoding the "Aβ42" peptide derived from Hsap\APP, fused to the rat pre-proenkephalin signal peptide (Tag:SS(rPENK)), and bearing an N-terminal truncation (3Q42) that has been identified from AD patients and facilitates Aβ aggregation in fly and mouse.
This construct carries the amyloid Aβ42 peptide; variant described relative to the full-length protein and in terms of the Aβ42 peptide.
