C1 Complex: An Adaptable Proteolytic Module for Complement and Non-Complement Functions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Complement C1 is the defining component of the classical pathway. Within the C1qC1r2C1s2 complex, C1q functions as a molecular scaffold for C1r2C1s2 and C1q binding to its ligands activates these two serine proteases.

C1q Regulates Horizontal Cell Neurite Confinement in the Outer Retina
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 During development, neurons generate excess processes which are then eliminated in concert with circuit maturation. C1q is the initiating protein in the complement cascade and has been implicated in this process, but whether C1q-mediated elimination is ...

Contribution of complement activation pathways to neuropathology differs among mouse models of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2011 Background Complement proteins and activation products have been found associated with neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, a C5a receptor antagonist was shown to suppress neuropathology in two murine models of AD, Tg2576 and

The role of complement component C1q in angiogenesis
Exploration of Immunology, 2023 The complement component C1q plays a role as a pro-angiogenic factor in different contexts, acting in a complement-independent way. For example, this molecule is able to foster the remodeling of the spiral arteries for a physiological pregnancy and to promote the wound healing process.
