Fetuin, also known as α-2-HS-glycoprotein (gene name: AHSG), is one of the more
abundant glycoproteins secreted into the bloodstream. There are two frequently occurring …

Fetuin, also known as alpha-2-Heremans Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG), belongs to some of
the most abundant glycoproteins secreted into the bloodstream. In blood, fetuins exhibit …

Plasma fetuin-A is associated with type 2 diabetes, and AHSG, the gene encoding fetuin-A,
has been identified as a susceptibility locus for diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Thus far …

Alpha2‐HS glycoprotein (AHSG), which is equivalent to fetuin in other species, is a protein
found in human plasma. AHSG is polymorphic with two common alleles and many variants …

α2‐HS glycoprotein (α2‐HS) is a major protein occuring in human blood and calciferous
tissues. Due to extensive sequence identity, α2‐HS has been grouped with the fetuins, a …

BACKGROUND: Fetuin-A is a circulating inhibitor of ectopic calcification. Low plasma levels
have been associated in some studies with increased vascular calcification, aortic stiffness …

Background—Elevated circulating levels of fetuin-A in blood have been associated with
increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The goal of our study was to prospectively …

Low fetuin-A levels are associated with cardiovascular death: Impact of variations in the
gene encoding fetuin. Background Vascular calcification is common among end-stage renal …

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 …

OBJECTIVE Fetuin-A levels are associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes, but it is
unknown if the association is causal. We investigated common (> 5%) genetic variants in the …
