Ficolin-3: Products

Ficolins-1 (M-ficolin), -2, and -3 are secreted pattern-recognition lectins that contribute to the innate immune recognition of pathogens. Ficolins have one fibrinogen-like domain and one collagen-like domain and circulate as disulfide-linked homo-oligomers. Following ligand binding, ficolins associate with MASP serine proteases to trigger the lectin complement cascade.
