Hemoglobin promotes Aβ oligomer formation and localizes in neurons and amyloid deposits

The objective of this study was to search for brain-specific binding proteins that participated in Aβ aggregation. Immunoprecipitation of Aβ in Alzheimer's brain homogenate revealed a major co-precipitating 16-kDa protein band, which was identified through mass spectrometry as hemoglobin (Hb) α...
