| UniProt functional annotation for P02743 | |||
| UniProt code: P02743. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| 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. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 2 calcium ions per subunit.; | |
| Subunit: | Homopentamer. Pentraxin (or pentaxin) have a discoid arrangement of 5 non-covalently bound subunits. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Found in serum and urine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15174148}. | |
| Ptm: | 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). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15174148, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16335952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19159218}. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Serum amyloid P-component]: Mass=25462.5; Mass_error=1.1; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15174148, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8202534}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Serum amyloid P-component]: Mass=25463; Mass_error=3; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15174148, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8202534}; | |
| Disease: | Note=SAP is a precursor of amyloid component P which is found in basement membrane and associated with amyloid deposits. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the pentraxin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
