The C1q Family of Proteins: Insights into the Emerging Non-Traditional Functions

Abstract excerpt

Research conducted over the past 20 years have helped us unravel not only the hidden structural and functional subtleties of human C1q, but also has catapulted the molecule from a mere recognition unit of the classical pathway to a well-recognized molecular sensor of damage-modified self or non-self antigens. Thus, C1q is involved in a rapidly expanding list of pathological disorders - including autoimmunity,...
