The revised amino acid sequence of serum amyloid A (SAA) protein in mink

The revised amino acid sequence of mink protein SAA was shown to be composed of 111 amino acid residues. The protein has an insertion of eight amino acid residues compared with that reported earlier. Microheterogeneities were observed in positions 6, 10, 24, 27, 67 and 71. The amino acid sequence is in accordance with the SAA mink cDNA sequences, except for the phenylalanine in position 6. The data indicate a third SAA gene in mink.
