C-reactive protein has long been recognized as an innate opsonin, that is, a protein that recognizes microbes and promotes their uptake by phagocytic cells.

Partial amino acid sequences of rabbit C-reactive protein, a peptide derived from human C-reactive protein by cyanogen bromide cleavage, and the C1t subcomponent of the human complement component C1 ...

Plasma creatinine and C-reactive protein levels measured at the point of sample collection also significantly correlated with sTCC plasma levels.

We thus present the fold of the CirpT protein family, and provide detailed mechanistic insights into its inhibitory function. Analysis of the binding interface reveals a mechanism of C5 inhibition, ...

ApoE binds to C1q, blocking initiation of the classical complement cascade. ApoE-C1q complexes are around lipid deposits in the choroid plexus, near Aβ plaques, and in arterial plaques. Shutting down ...

Scientists report that a protein best known as a common marker of inflammation plays a key role in the progression of human cancer. The research implicates C-reactive protein (CRP) as a potential ...

Further underscoring the limitations of cholesterol screening in assessing a patient's risk for heart disease, a new study by UC Davis physicians is the first to conclusively link C-reactive ...
