  2. C-reactive protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-reactive_protein

    C-reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped) pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentrations rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells .

  3. Acute-phase protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute-phase_protein

    Positive acute-phase proteins serve (as part of the innate immune system) different physiological functions within the immune system.Some act to destroy or inhibit growth of microbes, e.g., C-reactive protein, mannose-binding protein, [3] complement factors, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin.

  4. C1 complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C1_complex

    C1q can also be activated in other ways, for example by binding to pentraxins such as C-reactive protein [2] or directly to the surface of pathogens. [1] Such binding of C1q leads to conformational changes in the C1q molecule, which activates the associated C1r molecules. Active C1r cleaves the C1s molecules, activating them.

  8. Talk:C-reactive protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:C-reactive_protein

    EXCERPT: Activated leukocytes induce the synthesis and secretion from the liver of an unrelated set of proteins called acute-phase proteins. One such protein, C-reactive protein (CRP) was originally identified as binding to the phosphocholine attachment site of capsular polysaccharide (C-polysaccharide) from Streptococcus pneumoniae.
