CATEGORY

signaling growth factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,intermed filament
text	secreted

basic FUNCTION	having an opsonic activity
	involved in phagocytosis of pathogens
	soluble oligomeric defence protein with lectin-like activity, assembled from collagen fibers prolonged by fibrinogen-like recognition domains
	recognizes microbial polysaccharides and glycoconjugates rich in GlcNAc or GalNAc
	may not be critical for host defence against pneumococcal infection (Chapman 2007)
