Abstract excerpt
SAF-1, a zinc finger transcription factor, is activated by a number of inflammatory agents, including interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6. It is involved in the cytokine-mediated transcriptional induction of serum amyloid A, an acute-phase plasma protein that is associated with the pathogenesis of reactive amyloidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis. Here, we show that the mitogen-activated protein (MAP)...
