Docs already routinely test for one inflammation-producing protein, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Zovant is an artificially created version of a naturally occurring protein called Activated Protein C.
C-reactive protein was first discovered in the 1930s as a protein the body made in response to a sugar (the C polysaccharide) made by bacteria.
The compound targeted the protein kinase C-alpha, one of a family of 13 known proteins that relay information from one to another.
One reason is that the flat geometry of the hepatitis C protease protein made it is difficult target to hit with small-chemical drugs.

Peroxynitrites contribute to the hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins by oxidating g-protein coupled receptors and trysoine kinase receptors preventing protein kinase C and AKT from inactivating the enzyme GSK3 which is necessary to prevent the hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins.

Professor Seth Grant, an expert in the molecular mechanism of learning and memory at Edinburgh University, told BBC News Online that PKM was a particular version of an enzyme called protein kinase C (PKC) that had long been implicated in learning.
In turn, that can cut C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, by up to 40%.
He said its action on C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, was particularly interesting.
He started tracking his own levels of C-reactive protein, which is correlated with inflammation.
The researchers found that levels of a protein called cytochrome c increased with age in the normally-fed rats.
When combined with Zocor in Vytorin, Zetia does lower C-reactive protein (CRP), which doctors use to try and measure artery inflammation.
C-reactive protein, a measure of artery inflammation, was lowered about twice as much in the Lipitor studies than in A to Z.
People with very high C-reactive protein seem to get the most benefit.
They know that heart disease, for example, tends to occur in patients with an overabundance of any of these things: low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, C-reactive protein or homocysteine.
And he says imaging studies like ENHANCE have not been proven to be any more meaningful that reductions in LDL or C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation.
After the first two to three weeks of treatment, your doctor may gradually decrease your dosage depending on your symptoms and the results of sed rate and C-reactive protein tests.
To reach this goal Harvard's Ridker is leading a 15, 000-patient trial testing whether AstraZeneca's statin drug, Crestor, can prevent heart attacks in patients with normal cholesterol levels but high C-reactive protein levels.
If the FDA adopts the panel's recommendation -- the agency isn't required to do so, but typically does in such cases -- it would mark the first time that a statin was approved for heart-disease-free people with healthy cholesterol levels but other risk factors, including high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation.

Doctors told her she could never take interferon again-a big problem because the main hepatitis C regimens all use this protein.
Antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C, as well as soy protein and omega-3 fatty acids, help keep skin glowing.

The other potentially tainted Odwalla flavors are: Mango Tango, Super Protein, Strawberry Banana Smoothie, Raspberry Smoothie, C-Monster, Mo'Beta, Femme Vitale, Strawberry C- Monster, Superfood, Serious Ginseng and Deep in Peach.
Existing hep C treatments, based on bioengineered versions of the natural immune system protein alpha interferon, attack the virus indirectly and work half the time, at best, for the most common strain.
The Maya nut has high levels of nutrients including protein, calcium, fiber, iron and vitamins A, E, C and B.
Currently, Papalia is keeping close watch on people who are trying the high-protein, low complex-carbohydrate carb diet popularized by Dr. Robert C.
The researchers also looked at another protein, called ARC, which plays a role in preventing the release of cytochrome C.
To come up with his index, Drewnowski ranked foods based on their concentrations of nine essential nutrients (protein, fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, C, E).
This one gene is the longest of the 25, 000 that make up the human genome, and it consists of 2.2 million "letters" (A, T, G and C for four different nucleic acids), which spell out the recipe for making the muscle protein.
