== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FCN3_HUMAN FCN3_HUMAN] Defects in FCN3 are the cause of ficolin 3 deficiency (FCN3D) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613860 613860]. FCN3D is a disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, brain abscesses and recurrent warts on the fingers. Affected individuals have normal levels of lymphocytes, normal T-cell responses, and normal antibodies, but a selective deficient antibody response to pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.<ref>PMID:19535802</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FCN3_HUMAN FCN3_HUMAN] May function in innate immunity through activation of the lectin complement pathway. Calcium-dependent and GlcNAc-binding lectin. Has affinity with GalNAc, GlcNAc, D-fucose, as mono/oligosaccharide and lipopolysaccharides from S.typhimurium and S.minnesota.<ref>PMID:11907111</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Innate immunity relies critically upon the ability of a few pattern recognition molecules to sense molecular markers on pathogens, but little is known about these interactions at the atomic level. Human L- and H-ficolins are soluble oligomeric defence proteins with lectin-like activity, assembled from collagen fibers prolonged by fibrinogen-like recognition domains. The X-ray structures of their trimeric recognition domains, alone and in complex with various ligands, have been solved to resolutions up to 1.95 and 1.7 A, respectively. Both domains have three-lobed structures with clefts separating the distal parts of the protomers. Ca(2+) ions are found at sites homologous to those described for tachylectin 5A (TL5A), an invertebrate lectin. Outer binding sites (S1) homologous to the GlcNAc-binding pocket of TL5A are present in the ficolins but show different structures and specificities. In L-ficolin, three additional binding sites (S2-S4) surround the cleft. Together, they define an unpredicted continuous recognition surface able to sense various acetylated and neutral carbohydrate markers in the context of extended polysaccharides such as 1,3-beta-D-glucan, as found on microbial or apoptotic surfaces.
