Protein Function
Extracellular lectin functioning as a patte- recognition receptor in innate immunity. Binds the sugar moieties of pathogen-associated molecular pattes (PAMPs) displayed on microbes and activates the lectin pathway of the complement system. May also activate monocytes through a G protein-coupled receptor, FFAR2, inducing the secretion of interleukin-8/IL-8 (PubMed:21037097). Binds preferentially to 9-O-acetylated 2-6- linked sialic acid derivatives and to various glycans containing sialic acid engaged in a 2-3 linkage. .
Background
Ficolin-1, and also commonly termed M-ficolin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FCN1 gene. It is mapped to 9q34.3. The ficolin family of proteins are 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. Ficolins have a crucial role in defense against pneumococcal infection through the lectin complement pathway. Ficolin 1 is predominantly expressed in the peripheral blood leukocytes, and has been postulated to function as a plasma protein with elastin-binding activity.
