C-Reactive Protein (CRP) 77-82 is the 77-82 fragment of the annular (ring-shaped) C-Reactive Protein, the prototypic marker of inflammation, which serves as a cardiovascular risk marker and may promote atherogenesis.
CRP, an acute phase serum protein synthesized in response to inflammatory cytokines, produces antitumor effects in animals. The fragment CRP (174-185) (RS-83277) shows similar activity by significantly enhancing the tumoricidal activity of human monocytes
