Summary
FCN2, as well as ficolins FCN1 and FCN3, in serum are associated with MBL-associated serine protease (MASP) to form a complex and this complex binds to carbohydrates present on the surface of a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria through ficolin, initiating complement activation via the lectin pathway.
Entrez Gene
Summary The product of this gene belongs to the ficolin family of proteins. This family is characterized by the presence of a leader peptide, a short N-terminal segment, followed by a collagen-like region, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver, and has been shown to have carbohydrate binding and opsonic activities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
