C Reactive Protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein, with a monomeric molecular weight of 24 kDa. The protein is synthesized in the liver, and within the human body consists of five polypeptide chains, which form a ring structure, giving a total molecular weight of 120 kDa.
In medical diagnostics, CRP is measured as an indicator of inflammation. In normal healthy patients, serum CRP levels are usually below 5 mg/ml. Levels are elevated during a number of medical conditions, including inflammation, viral and bacterial infection and in patients with severe burns. Since CRP levels are elevated with any type of inflammation, it is not highly specific. However, research into the marker has suggested that C Reactive Protein may have relevance in predicting the likelihood of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in later life. SCIPAC offer affinity purified monoclonal antibodies specific for CRP.
