  • Title: A protein AA-variant derived from a novel serum AA protein, SAA1 delta, in an individual from Papua New Guinea.
    Author: Westermark P, Sletten K, Westermark GT, Raynes J, McAdam KP.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1996 Jun 14; 223(2):320-3. PubMed ID: 8670280.
    Abstract:
    A major protein AA amyloid protein was purified and characterised from a Papua New Guinnean individual. This AA protein differed from all previously characterised SAA variants by the combination of Ala52, Val57, Asn60, Phe68, Phe69 and Gly72. Since the prevalence of AA-amyloidosis is unusually high in Papua New Guinea this AAdelta must originate from a novel SAAdelta which may represent a particularly amyloidogenic variant.
