Related Product Information for anti-CRP antibody

Pentraxins, which include C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP), are prototypic acute phase proteins. CRP and SAP are produced by liver epithelial cells and are characterized by a cyclic pentameric structure and calcium-dependent ligand binding. IL-6 is the major inducer of human CRP gene, and IL-1 and steroids can enhance this induction. Testosterone is required for the expression of CRP transgene in vivo, whereas testosterone is not required for expression of the SAP gene. During the acute-phase response, cytokine C5a acts with IL-6 and/or IL-1b to promote upregulation of the CRP and SAP genes. Both Stat3 and C/EBP are involved in mouse SAP gene expression, but only Stat3 is involved in mouse CRP gene expression. SAP binds to a variety of molecules, including autoantigens and chromatin.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pentaxin family. It is involved in several host defense related functions based on its ability to recognize foreign pathogens and damaged cells of the host and to initiate their elimination by interacting with humoral and cellular effector systems in the blood. Consequently, the level of this protein in plasma increases greatly during acute phase response to tissue injury, infection, or other inflammatory stimuli. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Uniprot Description

CRP: Displays several functions associated with host defense: it promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis and complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine. Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells. Belongs to the pentaxin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
