Revisiting misfolding propensity of serum amyloid A1: Special focus on the signal peptide region

AA amyloidosis is the result of overproduction and aberrant processing of acute-phase serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) by hepatocytes. Proteolytic cleavage of SAA1 is believed to play a central role in AA amyloid formation. The SAA1 protein undergoes a cleavage of 18 residues consisting of the signal peptide...
