The antibody recognizes the typical amyloid deposits in brains of patients suffering from the disease. This antibody has been developed against the carboxy terminal extracellular sequence of the mutated BRI protein.

Background
The mutated BRI protein (ITM2B) was identified in patients with familial British dementia. The unusual 277 residue precursor protein releases a 34-residue amyloidogenic peptide by the action of the protease furin, leading to the deposition of a protein fragment that seems to be involved in the pathogenesis of familial British dementia.Synonyms: BRI, BRI2, ITM2B, Integral membrane protein 2B, Transmembrane protein BRI
