CTRP9B; C1q/TNF-related protein 9B; Complement C1q and tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9-like

C1q And Tumor Necrosis Factor Related Protein 9B (C1QTNF9B)
C1QTNF9B Contains 1 C1q domain.Contains 3 collagen-like domains.Expressed at low levels. Not expressed in adipose tissues.C1q is the target recognition protein of the classical complement pathway and a major connecting link between innate and acquired immunity. As a charge pattern recognition molecule of innate immunity, C1q can engage a broad range of self and non-self ligands via its heterotrimeric globular (gC1q) domain and thus trigger the classical pathway. The trimeric gC1q signature domain has been identified in a variety of non-complement proteins that can be grouped together as a C1q family. The X-ray crystal structures of the gC1q domain of a few members of the C1q family reveal a compact jelly-roll beta-sandwich fold similar to that of the multifunctional tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family, hence the C1q and TNF superfamily.
