Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium-dependent protein binding activity; complement component C4b binding activity; and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in complement activation, lectin pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and liver. Orthologous to human MASP2 (MBL associated serine protease 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of the exon encoding the small mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-associated protein results in a defective lectin-mediated complement pathway with a 20% reduction in the ability of serum components to cleave C3 and C4 in the presence of mannose.
