1 CRP binds to phosphorylcholine (PC) in a calcium-ion dependent manner. Phosphorylcholine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 CRP binds to phosphorylcholine (PC) in a calcium-ion dependent manner. Phosphorylcholine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
3 The structural homology between PC and the major phospholipid component of surfactant, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), led to the present study in which we examined if CRP levels might be increased in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and subsequently interfere with surfactant function. Phosphorylcholine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
