Summary: This gene encodes the A-chain polypeptide of serum complement subcomponent C1q, which associates with C1r and C1s to yield the first component of the serum complement system. C1q deficiency is associated with lupus erythematosus and glomerulonephritis. C1q is composed of 18 polypeptide chains which include 6 A-chains, 6 B-chains, and 6 C-chains. Each chain contains an N-terminal collagen-like region and a C-terminal C1q globular domain. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

Protein	Gene	Interaction	Pubs
Envelope surface glycoprotein gp120	env	Fibronectin, which is present in submandibular saliva, binds to HIV-1 gp120/160 and enhances the interaction of C1q with gp120/160	PubMed
	env	Free C1q binds to HIV-1 gp120; digestion of the C1q stem portion with collagenase completely eliminates its binding to recombinant gp120, suggesting that the collagen-like stem region of C1q participates in the binding to gp120	PubMed
Envelope transmembrane glycoprotein gp41	env	The interaction between C1q and HIV-gp41 is dependent upon the presence of calcium; calcium can not be replaced by larger cations such as strontium, barium, lead or smaller ions such as magnesium and manganese	PubMed
	env	HIV-1 gp41 (amino acid residues 561-575, 591-605 and 601-620) binds to complement C1q and activates the C1 complex in a dose- and time-dependent manner	PubMed
	env	Three sites (amino acids 526-538, 590-613 and 625-655) of the cell-external part of HIV-1 gp41 bind both HIV-1 gp120 and C1q	PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
