[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MASP2_HUMAN MASP2_HUMAN]] Defects in MASP2 are the cause of MASP2 deficiency (MASPD) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/613791 613791]]. MASPD is a disorder that results in autoimmune manifestations, recurrent severe infections, and chronic inflammatory disease.<ref>PMID:12904520</ref><ref>PMID:17252003</ref> | |||
==Function== | |||
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MASP2_HUMAN MASP2_HUMAN]] Serum protease that plays an important role in the activation of the complement system via mannose-binding lectin. After activation by auto-catalytic cleavage it cleaves C2 and C4, leading to their activation and to the formation of C3 convertase.<ref>PMID:10946292</ref> | |||
