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.
