Preferred Label : Complement C1s Subcomponent;

NCIt synonyms : C1 Esterase; EC 3.4.21.42; Complement Component 1 Subcomponent S; C1S; Complement C1s;

NCIt definition : Complement C1s subcomponent (688 aa, 77 kDa) is encoded by the human C1S gene. This protein plays a role in the proteolytic activation of complement components C2 and C4.;

NCIt note : Complement C1 complex is composed of 1 molecule of C1q, 2 molecules of C1r and 2 molecules of C1s. When antigen-antibody complexes, pentraxins or pathogens bind C1q, its conformation changes and causes activation of C1r. Active C1r cleaves C1s into A (heavy) and B (light) chains. The C1s B chain contains the active site that cleaves an Arg-/-Ala bond in complement component C4 to form C4a and C4b, and a Lys(or Arg)-/-Lys bond in complement component C2 to form C2a and C2b.
