A novel human tectonin protein with multivalent beta-propeller folds interacts with ficolin and binds bacterial LPS.

BACKGROUND: Although the human genome database has been completed a decade ago, approximately 50% of the proteome remains hypothetical as their functions are unknown. The elucidation of the functions of these hypothetical proteins can lead to additional protein pathways and revelation of new cascade...
