Gene Information

human ... CRP(1401)

General description

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins and synthesized by the liver. It is also known as PTX1. The CRP gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q23.2.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes an epitope located on the 24 kDa subunit of denatured and reduced CRP. It does not cross-react with human serum amyloid P component (SAP), human haptoglobin, human α1-acid glycoprotein, human IgG, and CRP from Limulus.

Immunogen

human C-reactive protein.

Application

  • It has been used in immunoblotting assay, to identify monomeric CRP.
  • In time-resolved fluorometric assay.
Monoclonal Anti-C-Reactive Protein antibody produced in mouse is suitable for the following:
  • dot blot analysis
  • indirect ELISA at a working dilution of 1:40,000
  • western blotting at a working dilution of 1:200

Biochem/physiol Actions

C-reactive protein (CRP) shows essential scavenging and metabolic activity and is also associated with defence mechanism. It activates the complement pathway by binding to calcium-dependent exogenous and autologous molecules containing phosphocholine (PC). It may have pathogenic effects and is a practical prognostic marker in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The CRP diagnostic value is higher for acute pyelonephritis than lower urinary tract infection. Thus, it helps in differentiating between upper and lower urinary tract infection. It is considered best for predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease..

Studies in cultured endothelium implicate that lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) or Fcγ receptor II (CD32) contributes to the proatherogenic effects of C-reactive protein (CRP). However, the identity of the receptors linking to deleterious actions of CRP in vasomotor

The deposition of monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) in the myocardium aggravates ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and myocardial infarction. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to protect the myocardium against IRI. We evaluated the effects of IPC on myocardium upon which mCRP had

Native C-reactive protein (nCRP) is a non-specific marker of inflammation being claimed as a bystander in several chronic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that nCRP dissociates to and acts primarily as the monomeric conformation (mCRP) at inflammatory loci. This suggests that

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a normal constituent of human sera synthesized by hepatocytes and induced by proinflammatory cytokines. The function of this acute-phase reactant includes activation of complement and enhancement of opsonophagocytosis. CRP binds to phosphorylcholine (ChoP), a constituent of
