Background
Fetuin-A, also called Alpha 2-Heremans Schmid Glycoprotein (AHSG), is a multifunctional plasma agent with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa and half-life of several days. Fetuin-A is mainly synthesized by the liver. Fetuin-A plays a role as a physiological inhibitor of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase associated with insulin resistance and a negative acute phase reactant. It also regulates bone remodeling and calcium metabolism being an important inhibitor of calcium salt precipitation and vascular calcifications.
