Two Lineages of Mannose-Binding Lectin-Associated Serine Protease (MASP) in Vertebrates

1 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP) is a newly identified member of the serine protease superfamily. MASP is involved in host defense against pathogens through a novel system of complement activation, designated the lectin pathway. To elucidate the origin of the lectin pathway and the molecular evolution of MASP, we cloned six MASP cDNAs from five vertebrate species going from mammal to...
