Ficolin-2 and ficolin-3 in women with malignant and benign ovarian tumours [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 2013
Ficolins are serum pattern recognition molecules. They have opsonic properties and are able to activate complement via the lectin pathway. This paper reports investigations concerning ficolin-2 and ficolin-3 in ovarian cancer (OC). Their serum levels, single nucleotide polymorphisms of the corresponding FCN2 and FCN3 genes and specific mRNA expression ...

Identification of the mouse H-ficolin gene as a pseudogene and orthology between mouse ficolins A/B and human L-/M-ficolins

open access: yesGenomics, 2004
Ficolin is a collagenous lectin which plays a crucial role in innate immunity. Three and two ficolins have been identified in human and mice, respectively. To identify the mouse homologue of human H-ficolin and to elucidate the orthology between mouse ficolins A/B and human L-/M-ficolins, the gene structures were explored.

Carbohydrate-binding specificities of mouse ficolin A, a splicing variant of ficolin A and ficolin B and their complex formation with MASP-2 and sMAP

Immunogenetics, 2005
Ficolins are a group of proteins mainly consisting of collagen-like and fibrinogen-like domains and are thought to play a role in innate immunity via their carbohydrate-binding activities. Two types of ficolins have been identified in mice, ficolin A, and ficolin B. However, their structure and function are not fully understood.

Ficolin A and ficolin B are expressed in distinct ontogenic patterns and cell types in the mouse

Molecular Immunology, 2005
Ficolins are a group of proteins characterized by the presence of collagen-like and fibrinogen-like domains. Two of three human ficolins, L-ficolin and H-ficolin, are serum lectins that form complexes with mannose-binding lectin-associated serine proteases (MASPs) and play important roles in the lectin complement pathway.

Structure and Function of Ficolins

2007
Ficolins are proteins that consist mainly of two domains: an N-terminal collagen- like domain and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. This domain structure is related to MBL or C1q, a subcomponent of the complement C1 complex in having a collagenous stalk.
