[HTML][HTML] The binding protein for globular heads of complement C1q, gC1qR: functional expression and characterization as a novel vitronectin binding factor
BL Lim, KBM Reid, B Ghebrehiwet… - Journal of Biological …, 1996 - ASBMB
A binding protein for the globular head domains of complement component C1q, designated
gC1qR, recently described to be present on vascular and blood cells (Ghebrehiwet, B., Lim,
B.-L., Peerschke, EIB, Willis, AC, and Reid, KBM (1994) J. Exp. Med. 179, 1809-1821 was
expressed in recombinant form in bacteria to investigate its functional and structural
properties. The recombinant gC1qR was found to be functional because tetramerization of
the 24.3-kDa polypeptide occurred as described for the native protein, and the binding of the …
