C-reactive protein is expressed during the acute phase response to tissue injury or inflammation in mammals. The protein resembles antibody and performs several functions associated with host defence: it promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling and phagocytosis, and activates the classical complement pathway through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphocholine. [4]
The cytokine Interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein are common inflammatory markers used to diagnose systemic inflammation risk. [3] Baseline C-reactive protein levels deviate due to natural genetic variation, but significant increases can result from risk factors such as smoking, obesity, lifestyle, and high blood pressure. [3]
Raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (≥60 mm in the first hour in lox-risk populations and ≥30 mm/h in others) or C reactive protein (>3.0 mg/dL). [ 34 ] ECG showing a prolonged PR interval [ 34 ] [ 41 ] [ 44 ] after accounting for age variability (Cannot be included if carditis is present as a major symptom)
Ceruloplasmin is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood, and in addition plays a role in iron metabolism. It was first described in 1948. [ 8 ] Another protein, hephaestin , is noted for its homology to ceruloplasmin, and also participates in iron and probably copper metabolism.
It is said that "normal concentration in healthy human serum is between 5 and 10 mg/L", but few lines before it is said that people with CRP concentration higher than 3.0 mg/L have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. If you connect these two sentences, you will get that "normal" is something that has "high risk".
C-reactive protein, an acute phase protein produced by the liver; cAMP receptor protein (catabolite gene activator protein) Cysteine-rich protein, a class of small proteins; Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers; Chinese restaurant process, in probability theory; Chronic relapsing polyneuropathy, an acquired disorder of the nervous system
It is also one of the binding targets of C-reactive protein (CRP). [3] Thus, when a cell is damaged, CRP binds to phosphocholine, beginning the recognition and phagocytotic immunologic response. Phosphocholine is a natural constituent of hens' eggs (and many other eggs) often used in biomimetic membrane studies. [4] [5]
