There are several types of amyloid proteins, each associated with different diseases. Some of the most well-known include:
Amyloid-beta (Aβ): Associated with Alzheimer's disease. Transthyretin (TTR): Associated with familial amyloid polyneuropathy and senile systemic amyloidosis. Serum amyloid A (SAA): Associated with reactive (secondary) amyloidosis. Light chains (AL): Associated with primary amyloidosis, usually in the context of multiple myeloma.
