    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    basic FUNCTION
  • may be interacting with DNA and histones and may be scavenging nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Ca2+
  • protein
  • bound preferentially to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the Ca(2+)-binding region of CRP (Swanson 1992)
  • COL4A3BP specifically binds APCS in its physiological conformations, pentamers and decamers, and START domain in COL4A3BP is important for this interaction
