Congo Red | 2588

Congo Red amyloid fibril-binding dye; inhibits Fib-beta A neurotoxicity by inhibiting fibril formation or by binding to preformed fibrils. Congo red also inhibits the pancreatic islet cell toxicity of diabetes-associated amylin, another type of amyloid fibril. Also acts as an inhibitor of protease-resistant prion protein formation.
