Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a multifunctional acute‐phase protein whose natural role seems
to be participation in many physiologic and pathological processes. Prolonged increased …

Secondary amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is an important complication of some chronic
inflammatory diseases, primarily rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is a serious, potentially life …

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a multifunctional acute‐phase protein whose concentration in
serum increases markedly following a number of chronic inflammatory and neoplastic …

Human cystatin C (HCC) is a protease inhibitor with a propensity to form β-amyloid (Aβ)-like
fibrils and to coassociate with amyloidogenic proteins. Recently, a specific interaction …

Cystatin C originally identified as a cysteine proteases inhibitor has a broad spectrum of
biological roles ranging from inhibition of extracellular cysteine protease activities, bone …

Human cystatin C (HCC), an amyloidogenic protein, forms dimers and higher oligomers
(trimers, tetramers and donut like large oligomers) via a domain-swapping mechanism. The …

A role for cystatin C (CysC) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been
suggested by the genetic linkage of a CysC gene (CST3) polymorphism with late-onset AD …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the interaction between cystatin C (CysC) and serum amyloid A
protein (SAA). METHODS: Levels of CysC and SAA and antibodies against these proteins …

Human cystatin C (hCC), like many other amyloidogenic proteins, has been shown to form
dimers by exchange of subdomains of the monomeric protein. Considering the model of …

The colocalization of cystatin C, an inhibitor of cysteine proteases, with amyloid β (Aβ) in
parenchymal and vascular amyloid deposits in brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients …
