InnateDB Annotation
Summary
FCN1, as well as ficolins FCN2 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.
FCN1, like its family members, functions as a recognition molecule of the lectin complement pathway and plays an important role in innate immunity.
FCN3 and PTX3 are soluble oligomeric pattern-recognition molecules that interact with each other and act synergistically to activate the lectin complement pathway.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Fcnb is crucial for the induction of innate immunity against pneumococcal infection through the lectin complement pathway.
Entrez Gene
Summary The ficolin family of proteins are 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. The collagen-like and the fibrinogen-like domains are also found separately in other proteins such as complement protein C1q, C-type lectins known as collectins, and tenascins. However, all these proteins recognize different targets, and are functionally distinct. Ficolin 1 encoded by FCN1 is predominantly expressed in the peripheral blood leukocytes, and has been postulated to function as a plasma protein with elastin-binding activity.
