Scope note: Proteína de REACCIÓN DE FASE AGUDA presente en bajas concentraciones en los sueros normales, pero en mayores concentraciones en los sueros de personas mayores y de pacientes con AMILOIDOSIS. Es el precursor circulante de la proteína amiloide A, que se encuentra en los depósitos de FIBRILLAS DE AMILOIDE de tipo AA.
