Description

Product Specs

Introduction
C1QBP, also known as gC1qR or p32, is a multifunctional protein involved in various cellular processes. It binds to the globular heads of complement component C1q, inhibiting the classical complement pathway activation. C1QBP interacts with a diverse range of ligands, including hyaluronic acid, and participates in cell signaling pathways. As a component of the pre-mRNA splicing factor SF2, it plays a role in RNA splicing. C1QBP has been implicated in tumor development, serving as a marker for tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages in hypoxic regions. It has also been shown to mediate apoptosis induced by the tumor suppressor protein p14ARF. Furthermore, C1QBP exhibits chemotactic properties for immature dendritic cells through its interaction with C1q and C1q receptors. In viral infections, C1QBP can interfere with viral replication by blocking mRNA accumulation and modulating RNA polymerase II activity. Additionally, it has been shown to interact with the Hepacivirus core protein, potentially affecting T cell signaling.
Physical Appearance
A clear and colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The antibody is supplied in a solution containing 1mg/ml of antibody in a buffer consisting of PBS at pH 7.4, 10% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Complement Component 1 (C1) is a crucial part of the classical pathway of the complement system, which is an essential component of the innate immune response. The complement system consists of a series of proteins that work together to identify and eliminate pathogens, as well as to clear damaged cells and promote inflammation.

Structure and Function

C1 is a complex protein composed of three subcomponents: C1q, C1r, and C1s. C1q is the recognition molecule that binds to the Fc region of antibodies (IgG or IgM) that are attached to antigens on the surface of pathogens. This binding activates C1r and C1s, which are serine proteases. The activation of C1r and C1s leads to the cleavage of C4 and C2, ultimately forming the C3 convertase, which is a key enzyme in the complement cascade .

Mouse Anti-Human C1 Antibodies

Mouse anti-human C1 antibodies are monoclonal antibodies produced in mice that specifically target human C1 components. These antibodies are used in research and diagnostic applications to study the role of C1 in various diseases and to develop potential therapeutic interventions.

Applications in Research

Mouse anti-human C1 antibodies are valuable tools in immunology research. They are used to:

  1. Investigate the role of C1 in autoimmune diseases: C1q deficiency is associated with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Studies using mouse models have shown that C1q plays a protective role against autoimmunity .
  2. Study the involvement of C1 in neurodegenerative diseases: C1q has been implicated in the process of synapse pruning during development and in neurodegenerative diseases .
  3. Explore the therapeutic potential of C1 inhibition: Inhibiting C1 activity has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for diseases where excessive complement activation contributes to pathology .
