Sixty-six years have elapsed since the discovery of fetuin in 1944, but its importance in
mammalian physiology has only recently been appreciated. Fetuin, first isolated from fetal …

Fetuin-A is a heterodimeric plasma glycoprotein containing an A-chain of 282 amino acids
and a B-chain of 27 amino acid residues linked by a single inter-disulfide bond. It is …

A set of orthologous plasma proteins found in human, sheep, pig, cow and rodents, now
collectively designated fetuin-A, constitutes the fetuin family. Fetuin-A has been identified as …

Abstract Fetuin-A (Alfa 2-Heremans-Schmid) is a glycoprotein that is mainly synthesized by
hepatocytes and then released into the bloodstream. While fetuin-A, a multifunctional …

Fetuins are serum proteins with diverse functions including the regulation of osteogenesis
and inhibition of unwanted mineralization. Besides the α2-Heremans and Schmid …

Alpha 2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein, also known as fetuin-A (Fet-A), is a multifunctional
plasma glycoprotein that has been identified in both animal and human beings. The protein …

Fetuin-A, also termed alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein, is a 46 kDa hepatocyte
derived protein (hepatokine) and serves multifaceted functions.(i) It acts as systemic inhibitor …

Objectives Fetuin-A is a circulating glycoprotein, formed in the liver. It regulates bone
remodelling and calcium metabolism. Fetuin-A has adipogenic properties, so fat …

Fetuin-A (α2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein), a circulating glycoprotein, can inhibit insulin
signaling both in vivo and in vitro. Recently, we and another independent group have shown …

Conclusions: Fetuin-A levels were higher in adults and children with obesity and Met S.
They were related to insulin resistance and to features of the Met S in cross-sectional …
