MW : 24.2kD. Recombinant Human Serum Amyloid P Component is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding His20-Val223 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Serum Amyoid P Component (SAP) is a monomeric 25 kDa secreted serum glycoprotein that belongs to the pentraxins family. The members of pentaxin superfamily be characterised by calcium dependent ligand binding and distinctive flattened beta-jellyroll structure similar to that of the legume lectins. SAP is a non-fibrillar component, it can interact with DNA and histones. It regulates the solubility of amyloid fibrils and protects them from degradation by proteolytic enzymes and phagocytic cells. SAP scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells. It has been proposed that SAP may function as an opsonin for a variety of ligands including autoantigens, apoptotic cells, chromatin and micro-organisms.
