Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) also known as fetuin-A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "AHSG" gene. Fetuin-A belongs to the fetuin class of plasma binding proteins and is more abundant in fetal than adult blood. Alpha2-HS glycoprotein, a glycoprotein present in the serum, is synthesized by hepatocytes. The AHSG molecule consists of two polypeptide chains, which are both cleaved from a proprotein encoded from a single mRNA. It is involved in several functions, such as endocytosis, brain development and the formation of bone tissue. The protein is commonly present in the cortical plate of the immature cerebral
