C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a type of protein produced by the liver and released into the bloodstream in response to inflammation in the body. It is classified as an acute-phase reactant protein because its levels in the blood rise significantly in response to various types of inflammation.
The name C-reactive Protein is derived from the name of the protein's ability to react with a compound called C-polysaccharide, which is found in the cell walls of certain bacteria.
CRP levels rise rapidly in the presence of inflammation and can serve as a biomarker for assessing the degree and presence of inflammation in the body.
