What (who) is C-reactive protein - definition
C-reactive protein
ANNULAR PENTAMERIC PROTEIN FOUND IN BLOOD PLASMA WHOSE CIRCULATING CONCENTRATIONS RISE IN RESPONSE TO INFLAMMATION
C reactive protein; C-Reactive protein; C-reactive peptide; Marker of inflammation; Inflammation marker; C-Reactive Protein; HsCRP; High-sensitivity C-reactive protein; Hs-CRP; Hs-CRP test; CRP (gene); High sensitivity C-reactive protein; Complement reactive protein; Complement-reactive protein
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped) pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentrations rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells.

TYPE OF ADDON ARMOR
Explosive reactive armour; Explosive reactive armor; Explosive Reactive Armour; Active armor; Active armour; NERA (armour); Explosive Reactive Armor; Reactive armore tiles; Reactive armor; Non-energetic reactive armour; SLERA; NxRA; Dynamic defense; Self-limiting explosive reactive armour; Self-limiting explosive reactive armor; Non-energetic reactive armor
Reactive armour is a type of vehicle armour that reacts in some way to the impact of a weapon to reduce the damage done to the vehicle being protected. It is most effective in protecting against shaped charges and specially hardened kinetic energy penetrators.

MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
Activated protein C; Protein c; Protein C (activated); Human Activated Protein C; C-Protein; PROC1; Proc1; PC protein; PROC (gene); ATC code B01AD12; ATCvet code QB01AD12; EC 3.4.21.69; GSAPC; Ceprotin
Protein C, also known as autoprothrombin IIA and blood coagulation factor XIX, is a zymogen, that is, an inactive enzyme. The activated form plays an important role in regulating anticoagulation, inflammation, and cell death and maintaining the permeability of blood vessel walls in humans and other animals.
Examples of use of C-reactive protein
1. Studies had shown that taking LitoZin can reduce levels of C–reactive protein, an inflammation marker linked to cardiovascular disease.
2. The patients had a number of tests, including heart tracing and their levels of C reactive protein were measured as an indicator of inflammation.
3. Better still, a far more accurate indication of heart disease risk can be achieved by measuring Lipo protein A, homocysteine and C reactive protein levels in the blood.
4. Blood samples were taken from all to look for three different chemicals – IL–6, C–reactive protein and fibrinogen – which indicate inflammation.
