Human serum amyloid A (SAA)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Serum amyloid A apol ipoprote in family consists of three members that in human beings are coded by different genes: SAA1, SAA2, and SAA4 (reviewed in 1-3). SAA1 and SAA2 are so-called acute phase isoforms. Their expression is increased in response to inflammation. SAA4 is a constitutive isoform, the expression of which does not change during an acute-phase response. In addition, one more related gene (SAA3) has been identified, although this gene is not expressed in human beings.

Serum concentrations of haptoglobin and serum amyloid A in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) with abomasal ulcer
To evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. Type I abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. Serum concentrations of Hp and SAA were measured. There was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffa...
متن کاملSerum Amyloid A (SAA) as Early Diagnosis of COVID-19 Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background and Aim: In December 2019, human-to-human transmission of respiratory illness (pneumonia) with fever and sputum was discovered in the respiratory tract, called COVID-19. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute-phase plasma protein that is considered to be diagnostically superior to CRP in pathological conditions such as viral diseases. Therefore, the study question in this review is whethe...
متن کاملHuman serum amyloid A. Three hepatic mRNAs and the corresponding proteins in one person.
Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is a major acute-phase protein in humans and most other mammals. In addition, it is the serum precursor of the major protein constituent of reactive amyloid fibrils. Sequence analyses have identified a number of polymorphic forms of human SAA and amyloid A protein (AA), but the question of the number of genes encoding SAA in the human has not been addressed. In add...

Introduction: Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is a sensitive marker related to the acute inflammatory phase, produced in the liver, and has got the protection and repair role in the inflammatory process. Nano curcumin (turmeric pigment) is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of advanced aerobic training and Nano curcumin supplementation on body composit...
متن کاملSome properties of antisera to serum amyloid A protein (SAA): inhibition of precipitation by complexing of SAA to albumin
Three potent rabbit antisera to human serum amyloid A protein (SAA) appear to be directed exclusibely to the carboxy terminal region not shared with the tissue amyloid A protein. Since binding to albumin completely blocks the reaction of these antisera with the antigen, and since SAA exists in serum complexed to albumin, the anti-SAA cannot be used to detect or quantitate this serum component. ...
متن کاملConnective tissue origin of the amyloid-related protein SAA
Protein SAA is a serum protein related to the major constituent of secondary amyloid fibrils, protein AA, and has been suggested to be a precursor of the amyloid protein AA. In the present study, the origin of SAA was investigated by studying human fetal tissues and cultured human fetal fibroblasts with the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Anti-SAA antibodies reacted strongly with culture...
