Pentraxins (PTX), also known as pentaxins, are an evolutionary conserved family of proteins characterised by containing a pentraxin protein domain. Proteins of the pentraxin family are …

The pentraxin is a superfamily of proteins with the same domain known as the pentraxin domain at C-terminal. This family has two subgroups, namely; short pentraxins (C-reactive protein and …

In this review, I focus on the two major, classical pentraxins: C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP). The pentraxins are serum proteins with a relatively uncommon …

The pentraxins are a family of acute-phase proteins that are involved in many pathologic conditions in the body. Their levels tend to rise significantly following tissue injury or …

Aug 18, 2020 · The pentraxin is a superfamily of proteins with the same domain known as the pentraxin domain at C-terminal. This family has two subgroups, namely; short pentraxins (C …

Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is the prototype of the long pentraxin subfamily, an acute-phase protein consisting of a C-terminal pentraxin domain and a unique N-terminal domain. PTX3 was …

Pentraxins are a family of multimeric proteins characterized by the presence of a pentraxin signature in their C-terminus region. Based on the primary structure, pentraxins are divided …

Pentraxins (PTXs) are a superfamily of conserved proteins which are components of the humoral arm of innate immunity. They are considered to be functional ancestors of antibodies and are …

Dec 3, 2019 · PTX3 is an essential mediator of innate resistance to selected pathogens of fungal, bacterial and viral origin, and is involved in regulation of inflammation, tissue remodeling and …

Oct 16, 2018 · The phylogenetically ancient, pentraxin family of plasma proteins, comprises C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP) in humans and the …
