PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains

a signature C-terminal globular domain homologous to the immune complement C1q and whose three-dimensional structures strikingly resemble that of TNF

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

C1q/TNF family

CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum

basic FUNCTION	secreted multimeric protein that interact with cell surface receptors
	may play diverse roles by forming homomeric and heteromeric complexes in the central nervous system
	C1QL1, C1QL2, C1QL3, C1QL4 proteins are secreted signaling molecules that bind to ADGRB3 and act, at least in part, to regulate synapse formation and/or maintenance
	C1QL2 and C1QL3, released from mossy fibers, determine the synaptic localization of postsynaptic kainate receptors in the hippocampus

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

forms heteromeric complexes with a closely related family member, C1QL3

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

C1Ql2 and C1QL3, produced by mossy fiber (MFs), serve as extracellular organizers to recruit functional postsynaptic kainate-type glutamate receptors (KARs) complexes to the CA3 pyramidal neurons
