Serum amyloid A – a review [PDF]
Molecular Medicine, 2018 Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins were isolated and named over 50 years ago. They are small (104 amino acids) and have a striking relationship to the acute phase response with serum levels rising as much as 1000-fold in 24 hours. SAA proteins are encoded in

Aggregation of Mouse Serum Amyloid A Protein Was Promoted by Amyloid-Enhancing Factors with the More Genetically Homologous Serum Amyloid A [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a condition in which amyloid fibrils characterized by a linear morphology and a cross-β structure accumulate and are deposited extracellularly in organs, resulting in chronic inflammatory diseases and infections. The incidence of AA amyloidosis is high in humans and several animal species.

Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate: A potential amyloid Fibril Disaggregator of Serum amyloid A1 [PDF]
Biochemistry and Biophysics ReportsSerum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is a 122-amino acid protein that, after cleavage, matures into a 104-amino acid form. Its N-terminus is responsible for binding high-density lipoprotein (HDL), while the C-terminus maintains its structural integrity.

Maternal Serum Amyloid A as a Marker of Preterm Birth/PROM: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Medicina, 2023 Background and Objectives: Preterm birth, one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality, occurs in between 5 and 18% of births. Premature birth can be induced by a variety of triggers, including infection or inflammation.

Serum Amyloid A in lung transplantation.
Sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and diffuse lung diseases : official journal of WASOG, 2020 Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein and we analyzed its concentrations in lung transplantated patients (LTX).26 LTX patients (58.6 ± 11 years) and 11 healthy controls (55 ± 11.3 years). Three groups of LTX patients: acute rejection (AR, 7) bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS, 3), acute infection (INF, 9) and stable patients (NEG, 7).In ...

Serum amyloid A4 is a procoagulant apolipoprotein that it is elevated in venous thrombosis patients
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020 Background Serum amyloid A4 (SAA4) is an apolipoprotein that is in the SAA family and it is constitutively translated. Previously, acute‐phase SAA1 and SAA2 levels were associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE).
