SAA2-SAA4
Description
The SAA2-SAA4 (SAA2-SAA4 readthrough) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
SAA2 and SAA4 are acute-phase proteins that are produced by the liver in response to inflammation, infection, and tissue injury. They are involved in various physiological processes, including stimulating the production of other inflammatory mediators and promoting the removal of damaged cells and pathogens. They can also bind to amyloid fibrils, contributing to the formation of amyloid deposits in conditions like amyloidosis.
