Preparation and Storage

Background: Serum Amyloid A1

Human SAA1 is a multifunctional apolipoprotein produced by hepatocytes in response to proinflammatory cytokines. It is secreted as a 12 kDa, 104 amino acid (aa), non‑glycosylated polypeptide that displaces apoA1 in the HDL₃ complex. The SAA1 gene is one of three SAA genes in human, and it shows multiple alleles that are race dependent. The SAA1 gene product differs from the SAA2 gene product by only seven amino acids. Circulating SAA1 shows multiple proteolytically-generated isoforms, with anywhere from one-to-three amino acids being cleaved from either the N- or C-terminus. Mature human SAA1 shares 72%, 82%, and 72% aa sequence identity with mature mouse, rabbit, and hamster SAA1, respectively.
