Serum amyloid A: The “other” inflammatory protein
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2006Inflammation long has been recognized as a hallmark of atherosclerotic lesions, but more recently attention has focused on chronic low-level elevations of specific plasma inflammatory proteins such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), which may not only represent markers of atherosclerosis risk but also participate directly in ...

Serum Amyloid A Protein (SAA) in Colorectal Carcinoma
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2001The changes in serum levels of serum amyloid A protein were studied in 67 patients suffering from colorectal carcinoma and compared to three other major acute phase proteins: C-reactive protein, alpha1-antichymotrypsin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein. Although the presence of colorectal carcinoma caused an increase in serum levels of all the acute phase ...

Serum Amyloid A Protein in Familial Mediterranean Fever
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1985Excerpt Amyloid a protein is the subunit of amyloid fibrils that occurs in the forms of amyloidosis commonest in humans and ubiquitous in animals (1, 2).

Serum Amyloid A Protein in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1986ABSTRACT Tissue injury including myocardial infarction leads to a variety of changes in plasma proteins commonly referred to as “the acute phase response”. In this report the concentrations of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) were measured serially in 6 patients with myocardial infarction and 4 with angina.

Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Proteins
2020As normal constituents of blood serum, the Serum Amyloid A (SAA) proteins are small (104 amino acids in humans) and remarkably well-conserved in mammalian evolution. They are synthesized prominently, but not exclusively, in the liver. Fragments of SAA can associate into insoluble fibrils (called "amyloid") characteristic of "secondary" amyloid disease ...

Transplantation, 1983
Acute human renal allograft rejection induces a dramatic elevation of serum amyloid A protein (SAA). To evaluate the clinical significance of this finding we monitored 31 consecutive recipients of cadaveric renal allografts by daily SAA measurements. SAA increased significantly during 37/38 rejection episodes.

Serum Amyloid A Protein—Current Status
Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 1984L'amyloide A serique est une reagine sensible de la phase aigue qui reflete l'activite inflammatoire des maladies rhumatismales. Elle est le precurseur de l'amyloide A fibrillaire deposee dans les tissus dans l'amyloidose associee a l'inflammation. Puisque la persistance de taux seriques eleves correle avec la progression rapide de la maladie et peut ...

Immunology Today, 1994
Following an acute phase stimulus, such as infection or physical injury, many liver-derived plasma proteins are increased in concentration. These provide enhanced protection against invading micro-organisms, limit tissue damage and promote a rapid return to homeostasis.

Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Protein — Interaction with Itself and Serum Albumin
The Journal of Immunology, 1977Abstract Serum amyloid A (SAA) protein is a 12,000 dalton protein that exists in serum under physiologic conditions as an 85,000 dalton complex and under certain conditions, as a 170,000 dalton component. To study the reason for this finding, the behavior of 125I-SAA was studied in the presence of cold SAA and several serum proteins. SAA

Hypothetical structure of human serum amyloid A protein
Amyloid, 2004The proteins known as serum amyloid A (SAA) play major, but relatively uncharacterized, roles in the acute phase response and are important components of the innate immune system of humans and probably all vertebrates. N-terminal fragments of the inducible isoforms, SAA1 and SAA2, are the major constituents of fibrils formed during secondary or ...
