OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a serine protease, which is a major constituent of the human complement subcomponent C1. C1s associates with two other complement components C1r and C1q in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system. Defects in this gene are the cause of selective C1s deficiency.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against C1S can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Four sources answering four different questions about C1S.

38 pathogenic / likely-pathogenic of 709 ClinVar records.

Disease | AutoantibodyPubMed

Conditions in which antibodies against C1S are reported. Each links to that disease's full target list.

ReferencesPubMed · IEDB

Publications for C1S from three distinct lines of evidence, kept separate because they answer different questions: whether antibodies are directed at the protein, whether a B-cell epitope has been mapped on it, and whether a T-cell epitope has. Each is labelled with its source.

Sources: PubMed — antigen-level antibody evidence from a custom retrieval. Records matching a controlled set of autoantibody terms (the MeSH descriptors Autoantibodies and Autoantigens, with title and abstract term variants) were obtained through NCBI E-utilities, and their titles and abstracts parsed for constructions that direct an antibody at a named protein rather than for co-occurrence. Captured names were resolved against UniProt nomenclature and each antigen adjudicated individually against the source text. IEDB — curated epitope assays from the Immune Epitope Database (Vita et al., Nucleic Acids Research 2019). Bibliographic records from PubMed and MeSH, U.S. National Library of Medicine; citation metrics from NIH iCite (Hutchins et al., PLoS Biology 2016). Titles link to PubMed; abstracts are not reproduced here. The NLM does not endorse this analysis.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads C1S as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against C1S could matter depends on whether native C1S is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

C1S is annotated at the cell surface, where native C1S is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label C1S as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
