Acta Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

MASP-1 and MASP-2 Do Not Activate Pro-Factor D in Resting Human Blood, whereas MASP-3 Is a Potential Activator: Kinetic Analysis Involving Specific MASP-1 and MASP-2 Inhibitors. [PDF]
, 2016 It had been thought that complement factor D (FD) is activated at the site of synthesis, and only FD lacking a propeptide is present in blood. The serum of mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP)-1/3(-/-) mice contains pro-FD and has ...

Mannan-binding lectin is a determinant of survival in infective endocarditis
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2007 Summary Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a collectin plasma protein activating the lectin pathway of the complement system, enhancing opsonophagocytosis and modulating the cytokine response to inflammation. Deficiency of MBL, caused by structural mutations or promoter polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene, has been associated with increased ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 40, July 17, 2025.In this study, we present a calix[4]arene building block suitable for modular solid‐phase polymer synthesis and the preparation of functional glycocalix[4]arene. This allows us to incorporate carbohydrate ligands and further functionalities, such as alkynes at a specific position at the upper or lower rim of the calix[4]arene as demonstrated for the ...

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine protease-2 in children with cancer
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2011 QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY: Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) are two key components of the lectin-pathway of complement-activation. Information on the potential role of lectin-pathway components in carcinogenesis

Simultaneous activation of complement and coagulation by MBL-associated serine protease 2.
PLoS ONE, 2007 The complement system is an important immune mechanism mediating both recognition and elimination of foreign bodies. The lectin pathway is one pathway of three by which the complement system is activated.
