Recombinant Human Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Protein

Serum amyloid A protein is a protein encoded by the SAA1 gene.The serum amyloid A (SAA) protein is an acute phase apolipoprotein reactant produced mainly by hepatocytes and under regulation of inflammatory cytokines (summarized by Lundmark et al., 2002). The SAA cleavage product, designated amyloid protein A (AA), is deposited systemically as amyloid in vital organs including the liver, spleen, and kidneys in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. There is very limited structural information about SAA because of its inherent poor solubility in the apolipoprotein form. It is intriguing to understand how such a small protein is able to mediate or directly carry out such a wide range of functions related to inflammatory reaction and other hostdefense mechanisms.
 

Reconstitute in PBS or others.
 

The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
 

Store it under sterile conditions at -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -80℃.
 

The protein solution is in 0.05M phosphate buffer containing 0.15M NaCl and 0.09% NaN3 pH 7.5. Filtered through a 0.7μM membrane
