產(chǎn)品介紹 |
Pentraxins are plasma proteins characterized by their pentameric discoid assembly and their Ca2+ dependent ligand binding, such as Serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive Protein (CRP), which are cytokine-inducible acute-phase proteins implicated in innate immunity. CRP binds to ligands containing phosphocholine, SAP binds to amyloid fibrils, DNA, chromatin, fibronectin, C4-binding proteins and glycosaminoglycans. "Long" pentraxins have N-terminal extensions to the common pentraxin domain; one group, the neuronal pentraxins, may be involved in synapse formation and remodeling, and they may also be able to form heteromultimers.
C反應蛋白 CRP(C-reactive protin)是與C性肺炎球菌的多糖起反應的一種蛋白,在某些細菌的感染過程中出現(xiàn)在血漿中。
CRP是在一些病理性情況下出現(xiàn)于病人血清中的一種糖蛋白,特別是在伴有肯炎癥和組織壞死疾病的急性期。血清中出現(xiàn)的這種異常蛋白能和肺炎C-多糖體發(fā)生沉淀反應,當疾病好轉(zhuǎn)或緩解時,CRP減低或消失。
臨床意義:
(1)各種急性化膿性炎癥、菌血癥、組織壞死(心肌梗塞、手術(shù)、嚴重創(chuàng)傷、燒傷等)、惡性腫瘤、結(jié)締組織病、腎移殖后急性排異反應、急性風濕熱、風濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎、類風濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎、心
