CC -!- FUNCTION: Displays several functions associated with host defense: it
CC promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis, and
CC complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to
CC phosphorylcholine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6403520}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. It is not known if it assembles
CC into a pentraxin (or pentaxin) structure. Pentraxins have a discoid
CC arrangement of 5 non-covalently bound subunits.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6403520}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6403520}.
CC -!- PTM: Glycosylated.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the pentraxin family. {ECO:0000305}.
