“…It is a rare type of amyloid that results due to mutations in the gene responsible for the decoding of transthyretin protein. This protein is essentially produced in the liver and this type could also be called senile systemic amyloidosis, which occurs due to abnormal folding of the protein that connects the thyroxin that precipitates in various organs and various tissues (Tao et al, 2023).…”

The name Amyloid is derived from the word "Oid", which means semi-starch, which is a protein that transforms into the shape or amyloid state when a distortion or a change occurs in its secondary structure as it becomes insoluble, shaped, and assembled as beta folded sheets. The structure of the amyloid protein can be seen by the electronic microscope as a group of non-branched fibers, with unspecified lengths and cross-sections between (7.5–10) nanometers. Also, the distinguished structure (the folded beta sheets) is clearly seen, and this structure is responsible for the unique pigmentation that is shown by the amyloid proteins with the Congo red stain.
