CD14 Is an Acute-Phase Protein [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2004 Abstract The origin of soluble CD14 (sCD14) in the circulation is uncertain. To examine whether CD14 could be an acute-phase protein (APP), the levels of sCD14, IL-6, and C-reactive protein were determined by ELISA in serum and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with various arthropathies, and the regulation of CD14 synthesis was examined ...

Angiotensinogen: an acute-phase protein? [PDF]
Hypertension, 1994 Angiotensinogen has been assumed to be an acute-phase protein, because some forms of acute inflammation, eg, the injection of lipopolysaccharide or cellite or partial hepatectomy, increased the hepatic synthesis of angiotensinogen. In addition, the well-characterized nephrectomy-induced stimulation of angiotensinogen was thought to represent an acute ...

Acute-phase protein synthesis: a key feature of innate immune functions of the liver
Biological chemistry, 2021 The expression of acute-phase proteins (APP’s) maintains homeostasis and tissue repair, but also represents a central component of the organism’s defense strategy, especially in the context of innate immunity.

Acute Phase Protein Response in Goats [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2008 Acute phase proteins (APPs) are important diagnostic indicators of inflammatory disturbances in animals. The objectives of the current study were to validate analytical methods for measuring haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), acid soluble glycoprotein (ASG), fibrinogen, and albumin concentrations in goats and to evaluate their response to an ...

C. elegans feed yolk to their young in a form of primitive lactation
Nature Communications, 2021 It is unclear why C. elegans continues to produce large quantities of yolk after reproduction. Here the authors show that post-reproductive C. elegans mothers vent yolk which supports their offspring’s growth, serving as a form of primitive lactation.

Acute-phase proteins during inflammatory reaction by bacterial infection: Fish-model
Scientific Reports, 2019 Acute-phase protein (APPs) serum levels have been studied in many human diseases, and their components contribute to host defense during the evolution of infectious diseases by acting as part of the innate immune system.

The importance of acute-phase proteins as markers in cancers
Studia Medyczne, 2021 Acute-phase proteins (APPs) form a group of heterogeneous proteins whose synthesis takes place in the liver. This involves mediators such as cytokines and constitutes a response to acute inflammations, bacterial infections, tumours, and autoimmune ...

Renal Amyloidosis Associated With 5 Novel Variants in the Fibrinogen A Alpha Chain Protein
Kidney International Reports, 2017 Fibrinogen A alpha chain amyloidosis is an autosomal dominant disease associated with mutations in the fibrinogen A alpha chain (FGA) gene, and it is the most common cause of hereditary renal amyloidosis in the UK.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Dissociation of the native transthyretin (TTR) tetramer is widely accepted as the critical step in TTR amyloid fibrillogenesis. It is modelled by exposure of the protein to non-physiological low pH in vitro and is inhibited by small molecule compounds ...
