--Human complement C4 is a sophisticated innate immune effector that features two classes of polymorphic proteins with acidic C4A and basic C4B. The thioester carbonyl from Gln-1016 of C4A has high binding affinity towards protein antigens rich in ...

Increased activation product of complement 4 protein in plasma of individuals with schizophrenia
Structural variation in the complement 4 gene (C4) confers genetic risk for schizophrenia. The variation includes numbers of the increased C4A copy number, which predicts increased C4A mRNA expression.

Complement component 4A protein levels are negatively related to frontal volumes in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders [PDF]
Background: Excessive C4A-gene expression may result in increased microglia-mediated synaptic pruning. As C4A overexpression is observed in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), this mechanism may account for the altered brain morphology (i.e.

Novel potential interacting partners of fibronectin in spontaneous animal model of interstitial cystitis [PDF]
Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is the only spontaneous animal model for human interstitial cystitis (IC), as both possess a distinctive chronical and relapsing character. Underlying pathomechanisms of both diseases are not clearly established yet.
