HGNC name ficolin (collagen/fibrinogen domain containing) 1
HGNC id 3623
PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES globular
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a leader peptide, a short N-terminal segment
  • a collagen-like region
  • a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain
  • conjugated GlycoP
    mono polymer homomer , polymer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Fcna
    homolog to Drosophila CG5550
    intraspecies homolog to FCN2
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • ficolin lectin family
  • CATEGORY immunity/defense , signaling growth factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
        intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,granule
    text localized in secretory granules in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, monocytes, and type II alveolar epithelial cells in lung
    basic FUNCTION
  • functioning as a plasma protein with elastin-binding activity
  • involved in serum exerting lectin activity
  • like its family members, functions as a recognition molecule of the lectin complement pathway and plays an important role in innate immunity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense
    text antimicrobial tumoral response (sensu invertebrata)
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • complexing with MASP1 and MASP2
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Ca2+
  • protein
  • binding to TGFB1 and elastin
  • CRP binding is enhanced by conformational bending at the neck region of FCN1, to avoid steric hindrance by the COL domain (Tanio 2009)
  • cell & other
