What Does CRP Stand For?
CRP stands for CAMP Receptor Protein
CAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) is a transcription factor found in various bacteria that plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in glucose levels and cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentrations. It functions as a key mediator in the metabolic processes, enabling the bacteria to adapt to different environmental conditions by activating or repressing specific genes related to metabolism and stress responses. CRP is essential for the proper utilization of carbon sources and the overall metabolic flexibility of bacterial organisms.
