Contents

The structure of C-reactive protein bound to phosphoethanolamine

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21360619

Function

[CRP_HUMAN] 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.

About this Structure

3l2y is a 20 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
