Summary
C1QC is the C-chain of the C1Q recognition subunit of Complement component 1 (C1), and acts a multimolecular protease that triggers the classical pathway of complement and has a major role in the host defence against pathogens.
C1Q is involved in the modulation of various immune cells such as dendritic cells, platelets, microglia cells and lymphocytes. C1Q has roles in clearance of apoptotic cells as well as a range of cell processes such as differentiation, chemotaxis, aggregation and adhesion, and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
C1QA :: C1QB :: C1QC (C1Q) is a versatile innate immune molecule that recognizes an array of self, non-self and altered-self ligands. The broad-spectrum of ligand specificity is facilitated by the modular organization of the heterotrimeric globular region and its ability to change its confirmation.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a major constituent of the human complement subcomponent C1q. C1q associates with C1r and C1s in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system. A deficiency in C1q has been associated with lupus erythematosus and glomerulonephritis. C1q is composed of 18 polypeptide chains: six A-chains, six B-chains, and six C-chains. Each chain contains a collagen-like region located near the N-terminus, and a C-terminal globular region. The A-, B-, and C-chains are arranged in the order A-C-B on chromosome 1. This gene encodes the C-chain polypeptide of human complement subcomponent C1q. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been found for this gene.
