Product Specs

Introduction
Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute-phase protein primarily produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Its levels can rise dramatically during inflammatory events. SAA1 is believed to play a role in immune modulation, including tissue repair, antimicrobial activity, and directing immune cells to infection sites. However, persistently elevated SAA1 levels are associated with the development of secondary amyloidosis, a condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs. This accumulation, particularly of the SAA1 cleavage product amyloid protein A, can lead to organ damage. Secondary amyloidosis is often linked to chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
Description
This product consists of recombinant SAA1 protein derived from monkey and produced in E. coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain with 104 amino acids, resulting in a molecular mass of 11.8 kDa. The protein undergoes purification using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized with 1x PBS at a pH of 7.4.
Solubility
To reconstitute the lyophilized SAA1, it is recommended to dissolve it in sterile 18 megaohm-cm H2O at a concentration of at least 100 micrograms/ml. This solution can be further diluted in other aqueous solutions as needed.
Stability
Lyophilized SAA1 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. However, for long-term storage, it should be stored desiccated at a temperature below -18 degrees Celsius. After reconstitution, SAA1 can be stored at 4 degrees Celsius for 2-7 days. For extended storage, it is advised to store it at a temperature below -18 degrees Celsius. The addition of a carrier protein like HSA or BSA at a concentration of 0.1% is recommended for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of this product is greater than 97.0%, as determined by two methods: Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) and SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The biological activity of this product is assessed based on its ability to chemoattract human monocytes. This chemoattractant activity is evaluated within a concentration range of 1.0 to 10.0 ng/ml.
Synonyms
Serum amyloid A protein, SAA, Amyloid protein A, Amyloid fibril protein AA, SAA1, SAA2, PIG4, TP53I4, MGC111216.

Product Science Overview

Expression and Production

In the context of recombinant protein production, Serum Amyloid A (APO-SAA1) Rhesus Macaque Recombinant is typically produced using E. coli expression systems. The recombinant protein is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 104 amino acids and has a molecular mass of approximately 11.8 kDa . The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity, often greater than 97% as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE .

Biological Functions

SAA1 is involved in several biological processes, including:

  • Immune Response: SAA1 plays a crucial role in modulating the immune response. It acts as a chemoattractant for immune cells such as monocytes, neutrophils, and T-lymphocytes .
  • Lipid Metabolism: SAA1 is associated with HDL and is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol.
  • Inflammation: During acute-phase responses, the levels of SAA1 can increase dramatically, indicating its role in inflammation and tissue repair .
Tissue Distribution

SAA1 is predominantly produced in the liver, but it can also be expressed in other tissues under certain conditions. The protein circulates in the blood at low levels under normal conditions but can increase significantly during inflammation .

Regulatory Mechanisms

The expression of SAA1 is regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. These cytokines activate signaling pathways that lead to the transcriptional upregulation of the SAA1 gene during the acute-phase response .

Stability and Storage

Recombinant SAA1 is typically lyophilized and should be stored desiccated below -18°C for long-term stability. Upon reconstitution, it should be stored at 4°C for short-term use and below -18°C for long-term use. It is recommended to add a carrier protein, such as 0.1% HSA or BSA, to prevent freeze-thaw cycles .
