Fetuin is a 59kD glycoprotein consisting of two cystatin-like domains and a smaller unrelated domain, is predominantly synthesized in liver.
It is secreted into the blood stream and deposited as a noncollagenous protein in mineralized bones and teeth.
Fetuin occurs in high serum concentrations during fetal life, whereas its level declines following infection, inflamation and malignancy.
Fetuin acts as an important circulating inhibitor of ectopic calcification, a frequent complication of many degenerative diseases.
Low serum level of Fetuin is associated with vascular and valvular calcification, atherosclerosis, malnutrition and higher cardiovascular mortality in chronic renal failure, liver cancer and liver cirrhosis patients on long-term dialysis.
AHSG protein represents a natural inhibitor of tyrosinase kinase activity of the insulin receptor.
It may play a significant role in regulating postprandial glucose disposal, insulin sensitivity, weight gain, and fat accumulation.
The serum and bone-resident Fetuin binds to transforming growth factor-b and blocks TGF-b binding to cell surface receptors.
