Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Human Active Protein

Introduction: Serum amyloid A protein which is a member of the SAA family is encoded by the SAA gene in humans. SAA is expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. Serum amyloid A is the main acute phase reactant and apolipoprotein of the HDL complex. Elevated serum SAA protein levels may be linked with lung cancer. The level of Apo-SAA, which is ordinarily 1-5 ?g/ml in plasma, increases 500-1000 fold within 24 hours of an inflammatory stimulus and, under these conditions, is the most abundant HDL Apolipoprotein.

Description: APO-SAA Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 104 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 11.7kDa. Recombinant Apo-SAA is a consensus SAA molecule corresponding to human Apo-SAA1a, except for the presence of an N-terminal methionine, the substitution of asparagine for aspartic acid at position 60, and arginine for histidine at position 71 (the latter two substituted residues are present in Apo-SAA2b).The Human APO-SAA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Small volumes of SAA active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS141163 is an active protein targeting SAA. Also known as Recombinant Human Serum Amyloid A (APO-SAA). Host: E Coli.
