Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]
, 2010 Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Modulation of C1-Inhibitor and Plasma Kallikrein Activities by Type IV Collagen
International Journal of Biomaterials, 2012 The contact system of coagulation can be activated when in contact with biomaterials. As collagen is being tested in novel biomaterials in this study, we have investigated how type IV collagen affects plasma kallikrein and C1-inhibitor.

Serial change of C1 inhibitor in patients with sepsis: a prospective observational study
Journal of Intensive Care, 2018 Background C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), which belongs to the superfamily of serine protease inhibitors, regulates the complement system and also the plasma kallikrein-kinin, fibrinolytic, and coagulation systems.

Presence of C1-inhibitor polymers in a subset of patients suffering from hereditary angioedema. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) C1 inhibitor (C1-inh).

The effect of microRNA-375 overexpression, an inhibitor of Helicobacter pylori-induced carcinogenesis, on lncRNA SOX2OT [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogenic bacterium in gastric mucosa. Although the association between gastric cancer and H. pylori has been well-established, the molecular mechanisms underlying H.

Mechanisms of C1-Inhibitor Deficiency
Immunobiology, 2002 C1 inhibitor (C1-Inh) is a protease inhibitor of the serpin family. It interacts and forms complexes with several serine proteases although not all these interactions were proved to be relevant in vivo. Based on studies in deficient patients, C1-Inh appears pivotal in regulating the activation of complement classical pathway and of contact system.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

mBio, 2021 Complement, contact activation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis are serum protein cascades that need strict regulation to maintain human health. Serum glycoprotein, a C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), is a key regulator (inhibitor) of serine proteases of all the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Possible role of extracellularly released phagocytic proteinases in the coagulation disorder during liver transplantation [PDF]
, 1991 Orthotopic liver transplantation is frequently associated with a complex coagulation disorder, influencing the outcome of the procedure. In this respect, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) had been suggested to be of causative importance for ...
