C-Reactive Protein, Human, Recombinant, E. coli

MFCD00130690

Recombinant, human C-reactive protein expressed in E. coli. CRP is a major acute-phase plasma protein that is dramatically elevated in patients with acute-phase conditions. Composed of five identical noncovalently linked subunits. Exhibits Ca²⁺-dependent binding to a variety of substrates. Important in diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Suitable for immunological studies. In purified states and in plasma the monomeric form (M.W. ~21 kDa) aggregates as a cyclic pentamer.

Suitable for immunological studies. In purified states and in plasma the monomeric form (M.W. ~21 kDa) aggregates as a cyclic pentamer. Intended for use as a calibration standard for assays of CRP, for structural and functional studies, and as an antigen for production of antisera.Calibrated by electroimmunoassay against WHO reference standard or equivalent.
M.W. 23,000 (monomer); 115,000 (pentamer).

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)
