CRP, also known as c-reactive protein, is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. It promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis and complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa20-225 from mouse CRP, fused to His-tag at C-terminal expressed in insect cell.
