Complement C1q.functional

Active

Description

The complement system is a key part of the immune system and inflammatory response. The system has three pathways: 1) the classic pathway, 2) the alternative pathway, and 3) the lectin activation pathway. Complement (C1) is composed of 3 subunits: C1q, C1r, and C1s. Complement C1q initiates the complement pathway by binding to immunoglobulins. Absent or decreased levels of Complement C1q are seen in patients with acquired angioedema, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), polymyositis, and other immune complex diseases. Complement tests measure either the quantity or the activity (function) of complement proteins. In some cases, complement proteins are present but not functional, in which case a functional assay is used to detect the deficiency. Source: Regenstrief Institute
