Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

C1r b chain is a serine protease that combines with C1q and C1s to form C1, the first component of the classical pathway of the complement system.

Catalytic activity:

Activates C1s by proteolytic cleavage so that it can, in turn, activate C2 and C4.

Subunit:

C1 is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex of C1q, r and s in the molar ration of 1:2:2. C1r is a dimer of identical chains, each of which is activated by cleavage into two chains, a and b, connected by disulfide bonds.
