Background: Mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MASP2 gene. This gene is mapped to 1p36.22. This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate A and B chains that heterodimerize to form the mature protease. This protease cleaves complement components C2 and C4 in order to generate C3 convertase in the lectin pathway of the complement system. The encoded protease also plays a role in the coagulation cascade through cleavage of prothrombin to form thrombin. Myocardial infarction and acute stroke patients exhibit reduced serum concentrations of the encoded protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed.

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human MASP2, which shares 88% and 76% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MASP2, respectively.
