Difference between Amyloid and Proteopathy

Amyloid vs. Proteopathy

Amyloids are aggregates of proteins that become folded into a shape that allows many copies of that protein to stick together forming fibrils. In medicine, proteopathy (Proteo-; -pathy; proteopathies pl.; proteopathic adj.) refers to a class of diseases in which certain proteins become structurally abnormal, and thereby disrupt the function of cells, tissues and organs of the body.
