Preparation and Storage

Background: Serum Amyloid A1/A2

Mouse serum amyloid A protein-1 (SAA1) is a multifunctional apolipoprotein produced by hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines. It is secreted as a 12 kDa, 103 amino acid (aa), nonglycosylated polypeptide and circulates as part of the HDL complex. The SAA1 gene is one of three SAA genes in mouse, and, based on human, is likely to be allelic. The SAA1 gene product differs from the SAA2 gene product by only nine amino acids. In human, circulating SAA1 shows multiple proteolytically-generated isoforms, with anywhere from one to three amino acids being cleaved from either the N- or C-terminus. The same situation may exist in mouse. The amino acid sequence of mature mouse SAA1 is 72%, 72%, 67%, and 74% identical to mature human, rabbit, equine, and hamster SAA1, respectively.
