Catalytic fragment of MASP-2 in complex with its specific inhibitor developed by directed evolution on SGCI scaffold
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 22511776
Disease
[MASP2_HUMAN] Defects in MASP2 are the cause of MASP2 deficiency (MASPD) [MIM:613791]. MASPD is a disorder that results in autoimmune manifestations, recurrent severe infections, and chronic inflammatory disease.[1][2]
Function
[MASP2_HUMAN] Serum protease that plays an important role in the activation of the complement system via mannose-binding lectin. After activation by auto-catalytic cleavage it cleaves C2 and C4, leading to their activation and to the formation of C3 convertase.[3]
About this Structure
3tvj is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens and Schistocerca gregaria. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
