UniProt functional annotation for P0DJI8

UniProt code: P0DJI8.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Major acute phase protein.
 
Subunit: Homohexamer; dimer of trimers. Can form amyloid fibrils after partial proteolysis; the native, undenatured protein does not form amyloid fibrils (in vitro). Apolipoprotein of the HDL complex. Binds to heparin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24706838, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7115671}.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7115671}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by the liver; secreted in plasma (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12973732, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4816450, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7115671}.
Induction: Upon cytokine stimulation.
Ptm: This protein is the precursor of amyloid protein A, which is formed by the removal of approximately 24 residues from the C-terminal end.

Mass spectrometry: [Amyloid protein A]: Mass=8337.5; Mass_error=0.8; Method=Electrospray; Note=With variants Ala-70, Val-75, Asn-78 and 86- Leu-Thr-87.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:1463770};
Mass spectrometry: [Amyloid protein A]: Mass=8390.9; Mass_error=0.2; Method=Electrospray; Note=With variant Ala-70.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:1463770};
Polymorphism: At least 5 different SAA1 alleles have been described: SAA1.1 (SAA1alpha), SAA1.2 (SAA1beta), SAA1.3 (SAA1gamma), SAA1.4 (SAA1delta), SAA1.5 (also named SAA1beta but which differs from SAA1.2). We use here the revised nomenclature described in PubMed:10211414. The sequence shown is that of SAA1.1.
Disease: Note=Reactive, secondary amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular accumulation in various tissues of the SAA1 protein. These deposits are highly insoluble and resistant to proteolysis; they disrupt tissue structure and compromise function. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1463770}.
Disease: Note=Elevated serum SAA1 protein levels may be associated with lung cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1463770}.
Similarity: Belongs to the SAA family. {ECO:0000305}.
