Function

Mannan-binding lectin serine protease (MASP) are proteases associated with mannan-binding lectin (MLB). The lectin pathway of complement is part of the innate immunity. The pathway activation occurs via recognition of pathogens by MBL followed by activation of MASP leading to activation of the complement system[1].

Relevance

MASP-1 and MASP-2 contribute to clot formation and may represent an important link between inflammation and thrombosis. MASP levels may be altered in vascular diseases[2].
