C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Overview
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein synthesized primarily by the liver in response to inflammation. Encoded by a gene producing a 224-amino-acid polypeptide, CRP belongs to the pentraxin protein family. Its serum concentration rises dramatically following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells, making it a clinically important biomarker of systemic inflammation.
