In vitro generation and bioactivity evaluation of C-reactive protein intermediate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The conformational conversion of pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) to monomeric CRP (mCRP) has been shown to play important roles in the action of CRP in inflammation regulation.

Factor H-Related Protein 5 Interacts with Pentraxin 3 and the Extracellular Matrix and Modulates Complement Activation [PDF]
, 2015 The physiological roles of the factor H (FH)-related proteins are controversial and poorly understood. Based on genetic studies, FH-related protein 5 (CFHR5) is implicated in glomerular diseases, such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, dense deposit

C-Reactive Protein in Atherosclerosis—More than a Biomarker, but not Just a Culprit
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentraxin that is mainly synthesized in the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines. It exists in two functionally and structurally distinct isoforms.

Extracellular vesicles are associated with C-reactive protein in sepsis
Scientific Reports, 2021 There is increasing evidence that C-reactive protein (CRP) can mediate inflammatory reactions following the transformation of functionally inert pentameric CRP (pCRP) into its structural isoform pCRP* and into monomeric CRP (mCRP).

Tobacco WLIM1 is a novel F-actin binding protein involved in actin cytoskeleton remodeling [PDF]
, 2006 We used confocal microscopy and in vitro analyses to show that Nicotiana tabacum WLIM1, a LIM domain protein related to animal Cys-rich proteins, is a novel actin binding protein in plants.
