Pentraxins and Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2011 Pentraxins are a family of evolutionarily conserved multifunctional patternrecognition proteins characterized by a cyclic multimeric structure. Based on the primary structure of the subunit, the pentraxins are divided into two groups: short pentraxins and long pentraxins.

Backbone resonance assignment of the pentraxin domain of the neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR). [PDF]
Biomol NMR AssignNeuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR) is a synaptic organizing protein important for excitatory neurotransmission, yet its structural properties remain poorly defined. The conserved C-terminal pentraxin (PTX) domain of NPTXR (NPTXRPTX) is expected to mediate interactions with synaptic partners but has not been structurally characterized.

Lack of the long pentraxin PTX3 promotes autoimmune lung disease but not glomerulonephritis in murine systemic lupus erythematosus. [PDF]
, 2011 The long pentraxin PTX3 has multiple roles in innate immunity. For example, PTX3 regulates C1q binding to pathogens and dead cells and regulates their uptake by phagocytes. It also inhibits P-selectin-mediated recruitment of leukocytes.

Pattern Recognition by Pentraxins [PDF]
, 2009 Pentraxins are a family of evolutionarily conserved pattern-recognition proteins that are made up of five identical subunits. Based on the primary structure of the subunit, the pentraxins are divided into two groups: short pentraxins and long pentraxins. C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P-component (SAP) are the two short pentraxins.
