Abstract excerpt
Human serum amyloid A (SAA) is a precursor protein of the amyloid fibrils that are responsible for AA amyloidosis. Of the four human SAA genotypes, SAA1 is most commonly associated with AA amyloidosis. Furthermore, SAA1 has three major isoforms (SAA1.1, 1.3, and 1.5) that differ by single amino acid variations at two sites in their 104-amino acid sequences. In the present study, we examined the effect of amino...
