DEFINITION

A fibrous protein complex that consists of proteins folded into a specific cross beta-pleated sheet structure. This fibrillar structure has been found as an alternative folding pattern for a variety of functional proteins. Deposits of amyloid in the form of amyloid plaques are associated with a variety of degenerative diseases. The amyloid structure has also been found in a number of functional proteins that are unrelated to disease.
Una proteína fibrosa compleja que está compuesta por proteínas acumuladas en una estructura específica similar a una hoja plegada. Esta estructura fibrilar se ha encontrado como un modelo alternativo de plegado para una variedad de proteínas funcionales. Los depósitos de amiloide en forma de placas de amiloide se asocian con una variedad de enfermedades degenerativas. La estructura amiloide también se ha encontrado en un número de proteínas funcionales que no están relacionados con enfermedades.
