The structure of C-reactive protein bound to phosphoethanolamineThe structure of C-reactive protein bound to phosphoethanolamine

FunctionFunction

[CRP_HUMAN] Displays several functions associated with host defense: it promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis and complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine. Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells.
