The PTX protein plays a vital role in this process because it activates coagulation factors V and VII.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePTX also helps to activate coagulation factor XIII, which is vital for cross-linking of the fibrin strands.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInvolvement with complement activation: The body activates complements by some different proteins, including proteases and serpins such as C-reactive protein or c-αI-antitrypsin.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePTX acts as the cofactor that helps to activate complement by binding these proteins and initiating a \"complement activation.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRole in inflammatory reactions: PTX also plays a role in the body's response to inflammation. It may inhibit cytokine production by binding specifically to IL-18.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePTX Interactions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePTX is involved in many other functions that are not related to the immune system.
