Summary
FCN2 (ficolin 2, HGNC:3624) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q34.3, encoding Ficolin-2 (Q15485). Calcium-dependent lectin, which acts as a pattern recognition receptor that initiates the lectin pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system.
The product of this gene belongs to the ficolin family of proteins. This family is characterized by the presence of a leader peptide, a short N-terminal segment, followed by a collagen-like region, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver, and has been shown to have carbohydrate binding and opsonic activities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Function. Calcium-dependent lectin, which acts as a pattern recognition receptor that initiates the lectin pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. Specifically recognizes and binds carbohydrates on the pathogen surface, activating the MASP1 serine protease and initiating the proteolytic cascade of the lectin complement pathway. Specifically binds N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), as well as phosphocholine and lipoteichoic acid moieties on the surface of pathogens. Enhances phagocytosis of S.typhimurium by neutrophils, suggesting an opsonic effect.
Subunit / interactions. Homotrimer. Interacts with elastin. Interacts with MASP1 and MASP2. Interacts with CR1.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Cell surface.
Tissue specificity. Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
Domain organisation. The fibrinogen-like domain (FBG) contains calcium-binding sites that may be involved in carbohydrate binding.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 22 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
