Summary

PMID 20038603

[Homo sapiens] MASP1 is an essential protease of both the lectin and alternative complement pathways, essential components of innate immunity, participating in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and in host defence.

PMID 22966085

[Homo sapiens] MASP1 is crucial for classical complement activation, but is not required for the alternative pathway function.

PMID 23785123

[Homo sapiens] MASP1 forms a complex with MASP2 to activate the complement system.

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000127241:
This gene encodes a serine protease that functions as a component of the lectin pathway of complement activation. The complement pathway plays an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune response. The encoded protein is synthesized as a zymogen and is activated when it complexes with the pathogen recognition molecules of lectin pathway, the mannose-binding lectin and the ficolins. This protein is not directly involved in complement activation but may play a role as an amplifier of complement activation by cleaving complement C2 or by activating another complement serine protease, MASP-2. The encoded protein is also able to cleave fibrinogen and factor XIII and may may be involved in coagulation. A splice variant of this gene which lacks the serine protease domain functions as an inhibitor of the complement pathway. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
