Serum amyloid A1: Structure, function and gene polymorphism.

Gene - 25 May 2016

Sun Lei, Ye Richard D

Abstract excerpt

Inducible expression of serum amyloid A (SAA) is a hallmark of the acute-phase response, which is a conserved reaction of vertebrates to environmental challenges such as tissue injury, infection and surgery. Human SAA1 is encoded by one of the four SAA genes and is the best-characterized SAA protein. Initially known as a major precursor of amyloid A (AA), SAA1 has been found to play an important role in lipid...
