The proteoglycan decorin binds C1q and inhibits the activity of the C1 complex.

Krumdieck R, Hoeoek M, Rosenberg LC, Volanakis JE

Decorin, a small collagen-binding dermatan sulfate proteoglycan, is widely distributed as a component of extracellular matrices. Using a solid phase binding assay, we showed that decorin bound C1q at physiologic pH and ionic strength. The interaction did not require divalent cations and was time and temperature dependent reaching equilibrium in 4 h at 37 degrees C. Binding was specific and ... [more]
