Abstract
Several proteins have been identified as candidate cell-surface receptors for the complement protein C1q. Some of these also interact with the structurally-related collectin proteins. Previous descriptions of C1q-binding properties of cells, and information on the cellular distribution of candidate receptors suggest that there is more than one physiologically relevant receptor for C1q. Two such candidate receptors, cell-surface calreticulin (also referred to as cC1qR or collectin receptor) and megalin are discussed in this review.Entities:
