Assessment of the biochemical basis underlying the resistance against systemic amyloidosis. [PDF]
Amyloid resistance is the reduced or abrogated ability of an organism to develop a specific type of amyloid disease. For example, it was found that certain mouse strains show resistance against systemic AA amyloidosis, due to mutations in the amyloid ...

Revisiting misfolding propensity of serum amyloid A1: Special focus on the signal peptide region
AA amyloidosis is the result of overproduction and aberrant processing of acute-phase serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) by hepatocytes. Proteolytic cleavage of SAA1 is believed to play a central role in AA amyloid formation.
