Complement C1s subcomponent (C1s)

Target (abbrv.) C1s
Target (full name) Complement C1s subcomponent
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL000311 (3590-8_3)
Entrez Gene Symbol C1S
UniProt ID P09871
UniProt Comment
  • C1s B chain is a serine protease that combines with C1q and C1r to form C1, the first component of the classical pathway of the complement system. C1r activates C1s so that it can, in turn, activate C2 and C4.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs12734260) and 69 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.

SOMAscan assay update regarding Complement C1s subcomponent

According to a SOMAscan assay change log issued on 12/22/2016, the SOMAmer reagent 3590-8 (targeting Complement C1s subcomponent) was removed from the SOMAscan panel for the following reason: "Mass spectrometry identifies Complement Factor H as the protein enriched from plasma when the SOMAmer reagent 3590-8 is used for affinity capture."
