Mouse SAP:
- Mouse SAP has shown to be a reliable marker of the acute phase.
- In mouse, SAP levels increase significantly 24 hours after challenge with lipopolysaccharide.
- The normal mouse serum level of SAP is similar between males and females, but is different among mouse strains. Endogenous SAP levels range from 20 µg/ml to 150 µg/ml.
General SAP information:
- Serum amyloid P component (SAP) belongs to a highly conserved superfamily of calcium-dependent ligand binding and lectin (carbohydrate binding) proteins, also called pentraxins, due to the pentameric structure of the proteins.
- The polypeptide subunits are 31 kDa in size under reducing conditions.
- The C-reactive protein (CRP) and SAP are short pentraxins, which are produced in the liver in response to inflammatory mediators. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), is the prototypic long pentraxin.
- Both SAP and CRP are evolutionary conserved in all vertebrates and also found in distant invertebrates such as the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus).
- SAP contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of amyloidosis. The mechanism of its participation is not yet known and may differ between species.
-
Human SAP and CRP share 51% residue sequence identity and 66% homology.
