Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

C1s 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. C1r activates C1s so that it can, in turn, activate C2 and C4.

Catalytic activity:

Cleaves component C4 to C4a and C4b, and component C2 to C2a and C2b.

Subunit:

C1 is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex of C1q, r and s in the molar ration of 1:2:2. Activated C1s is an disulfide-linked heterodimer of an heavy chain and a light chain.
