Description
PIC1 PA, a 15 amino-acid peptide, is a potent PIC1 analog that inhibits classical pathway mediated complement activation. PIC1 PA functionally disrupts the C1s-C1r-C1r-C1s/MASPs interaction with collagen-like region (CLR) of C1q/MBL, respectively. PIC1 PA specifically binds to the CLR of C1q and bounds to purified C1q with a mean equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 33.3 nM[1]
