Protein 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. .
Background
Ficolin-2, which was initially identified as L-ficolin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FCN2 gene. 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. It is mapped to 9q34.3. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver, and has been shown to have carbohydrate binding and opsonic activities. Serum concentration of ficolin-2 varies considerably in healthy individuals. FCN2 promoter polymorphisms were associated with marked changes in theficolin-2 serum concentration.
