Entrez Gene summary for APCS Gene:

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycoprotein, belonging to the pentraxin family of proteins, which has a

characteristic pentameric organization. These family members have considerable sequence homology which is thought

to be the result of gene duplication. The binding of the encoded protein to proteins in the pathological amyloid

cross-beta fold suggests its possible role as a chaperone. This protein is also thought to control the

degradation of chromatin. It has been demonstrated that this protein binds to apoptotic cells at an early stage,

which raises the possibility that it is involved in dealing with apoptotic cells in vivo. (provided by RefSeq,

Sep 2008)

GeneCards Summary for APCS Gene:

APCS (amyloid P component, serum) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with APCS include amyloidosis, secondary, and candida glabrata. GO annotations related to this gene include unfolded protein binding. An important paralog of this gene is NPTX2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: SAMP_HUMAN, P02743

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
