Disease

[FCN3_HUMAN] Defects in FCN3 are the cause of ficolin 3 deficiency (FCN3D) [MIM:613860]. FCN3D is a disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, brain abscesses and recurrent warts on the fingers. Affected individuals have normal levels of lymphocytes, normal T-cell responses, and normal antibodies, but a selective deficient antibody response to pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.[1]

Function

[FCN3_HUMAN] May function in innate immunity through activation of the lectin complement pathway. Calcium-dependent and GlcNAc-binding lectin. Has affinity with GalNAc, GlcNAc, D-fucose, as mono/oligosaccharide and lipopolysaccharides from S.typhimurium and S.minnesota.[2]
