The application of this peptide is primarily in the field of neuroscience and Alzheimer's disease research. It is used as a model compound to study the aggregation process of amyloid proteins, which is a key feature in the pathology of Alzheimer's. Researchers utilize it to investigate the mechanisms of amyloid plaque formation and to screen potential therapeutic agents that can inhibit or disrupt this aggregation. Additionally, it serves as a tool in the development of diagnostic assays and imaging techniques aimed at detecting amyloid deposits in the brain, aiding in early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.
