General description
SILu™Lite CRP is a recombinant human protein expressed in human 293 cells. It is a protein consisting of 226 amino acids (including a C-terminal polyhistidine and FLAG® tags), with a calculated molecular weight of ~25 kDa. SILu™Lite CRP is an analytical standard designed to be used as starting material for preparation of calibrators and controls in LC-MS applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions
CRP is a hepatically derived pentraxin. It exists mainly as a pentamer in a cyclic structure with 5 identical 23-kD subunits in the blood. In addition to its role as an "acute phase" protein or first-line defense molecule against pathogenic organisms, baseline levels of CRP correlate positively to adverse cardiovascular events. CRP is therefore being considered a “risk factor” for cardiovascular disease. In humans, treatment with statin therapy reduces levels of both LDL-C and CRP, and concurrently there is a reduction in the number of cardiovascular events. A recent study suggests that patients with elevated basal levels of CRP are at an increased risk of diabetes, in addition to cardiovascular disease. A study of over 700 nurses showed that those in the highest quartile of trans fat consumption had blood levels of CRP that were 73% higher than those in the lowest quartile.

Blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, are related to cardiovascular disease risk. To determine cross-sectional correlates in the elderly, we measured CRP in 400 men and women older than 65 years and free of clinical cardiovascular

Trans fatty acid intake has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The relation is explained only partially by the adverse effect of these fatty acids on the lipid profile. We examined whether trans fatty acid intake could

Recent trials have demonstrated better outcomes with intensive than with moderate statin treatment. Intensive treatment produced greater reductions in both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and C-reactive protein (CRP), suggesting a relationship between these two biomarkers and disease progression. We performed
