3 Adiponectin monomers usually form a collagen triple helix with a C-terminal trimeric globular C1q head domain, resulting in what is often referred to as a “bouquet of flowers” structure ...

This process is considered as a basis for long-lasting memory. In this study, we will elucidate roles of C1q family proteins in regulation of synapse formation and maintenance in adult brain.

2011;9(12):1565-1584. The effector face, at the opposite side of the CRP pentamer, recognizes the complement pathway component (C1q) and cell surface Fcγ receptors (FcγRs). [14] It carries a ...
