Serum Amyloid A-2 Protein

Preferred Label : Serum Amyloid A-2 Protein;

NCIt synonyms : Amyloid A-2 Protein Precursor; Serum Amyloid A2; SAA2; Amyloid A2 Protein Precursor;

NCIt definition : Serum amyloid A-2 protein (122 aa, 14 kDa) is encoded by the human SAA2 gene. This protein is involved in acute phase responses.;

NCIt note : Serum amyloid A-2 protein is processed to remove 18 N-terminal amino acids prior to secretion. This product can be cleaved further to generate amyloid A2 protein (AA2, which is comprised of amino acids 19-94). (UniProt);
