The Human Acute‐Phase Serum Amyloid A Gene Family: Structure, Evolution and Expression in Hepatoma Cells
1 Oct 1991
Abstract excerpt
Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are a group of phylogenetically conserved acute-phase reactants. Evidence is presented here for the existence of four genetic loci for the human serum amyloid A (SAA) genes. The first locus was defined by three contiguous lambda clones spanning approximately 30 kb which contained a single SAA gene encoding apoSAA1 beta. Allelic variants were isolated at the second locus: a novel...
