We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

THE STRUCTURE OF SERUM AMYLOID P COMPONENT BOUND TO 0-PHOSPHO-THREONINE

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 19372378

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

2w08 is a 5 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
