NCIt definition : Complement component C1q receptor (652 aa, 69 kDa) is encoded by the human CD93 gene.
This protein is involved in the clearance of apoptotic cells and intercellular adhesion;
it may also bind to complement C1q, mannose-binding lectin and pulmonary surfactant
protein A.;
NCIt note : Complement component C1q receptor binding to complement C1q has only been replicated
under nonphysiologic conditions; therefore, C1q binding may not be biologically relevant.
