Background
ficolin 2(FCN2) Homo sapiens The product of this gene belongs to the ficolin family of proteins. This family is characterized by the presence of a leader peptide, a short N-terminal segment, followed by a collagen-like region, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver, and has been shown to have carbohydrate binding and opsonic activities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:The fibrinogen-like domain (FBG) contains potential calcium-binding sites that may be involved in carbohydrate binding.,function:May function in innate immunity through activation of the lectin complement pathway. Calcium-dependent and GlcNAc-binding lectin. Enhances phagocytosis of S.typhimurium by neutrophils, suggesting an opsonic effect via the collagen region.,similarity:Belongs to the ficolin lectin family.,similarity:Contains 1 collagen-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 fibrinogen C-terminal domain.,subunit:Homopolymer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with elastin. Interacts with MASP1 and MASP2.,tissue specificity:Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.,
