Biological function summary
SAP plays a role in the immune system by recognizing damaged cells and pathogens. It acts as an opsonin marking these cellular targets for phagocytosis. As part of a complex SAP stabilizes extracellular matrix and amyloid deposits. It binds specifically to amyloid fibrils found in various tissues potentially facilitating their removal by immune cells. The protein's binding actions are important for its role in maintaining tissue and fluid homeostasis.
Pathways
SAP is actively involved in the innate immune response and amyloidogenic pathways. It interacts with the complement system to enhance the clearance of cell debris and amyloid fibrils. The complement system is an important component of innate immunity where SAP can engage with complement proteins like C1q. This interaction suggests that SAP plays roles in modulating both inflammation and tissue repair processes.
Specifications
Form
Lyophilized
Additional notes
Greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC and reducing SDS-PAGE.
General info
Function
Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells. May also function as a calcium-dependent lectin.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the pentraxin family.
Post-translational modifications
N-glycosylated with a complex biantennary oligosaccharide chain with a sialic acid at the end (disialo-SAP). Monosialo-SAP as well as asioalo-SAP are also detected (PubMed:15174148).
