Gene information for FCN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2219
Official gene symbolFCN1
Full nameficolin (collagen/fibrinogen domain containing) 1
Aliases,FCNM,
Gene summary The ficolin family of proteins are characterized by the presence of a leader peptide, a short N-terminal segment, followed by a collagen-like region, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. The collagen-like and the fibrinogen-like domains are also found separately in other proteins such as complement protein C1q, C-type lectins known as collectins, and tenascins. However, all these proteins recognize different targets, and are functionally distinct. Ficolin 1 encoded by FCN1 is predominantly expressed in the peripheral blood leukocytes, and has been postulated to function as a plasma protein with elastin-binding activity. [provided by RefSeq]
