DECAMERIC DAMP COMPLEX OF HUMAN SERUM AMYLOID P COMPONENT
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 9217261
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
