Decameric crystal structure of human serum amyloid P-component bound to Bis-1,2-{[(Z)-2carboxy- 2-methyl-1,3-dioxane]- 5-yloxycarbonyl}-piperazine
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 16036920
Disease
[SAMP_HUMAN] Note=SAP is a precursor of amyloid component P which is found in basement membrane and associated with amyloid deposits.
Function
[SAMP_HUMAN] Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells. May also function as a calcium-dependent lectin.
About this Structure
2a3x is a 10 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
