Low cytoplasmic expression in selected tissues with plasma positivity in several tissues.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Several cases of testicular and urothelial cancers along with a few cases of breast, ovarian and liver cancers exhibited weak nuclear positivity. The rest of the tumors were mainly negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a major constituent of the human complement subcomponent C1q. C1q associates with C1r and C1s in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system. Deficiency of C1q has been associated with lupus erythematosus and glomerulonephritis. C1q is composed of 18 polypeptide chains: six A-chains, six B-chains, and six C-chains. Each chain contains a collagen-like region located near the N terminus and a C-terminal globular region. The A-, B-, and C-chains are arranged in the order A-C-B on chromosome 1. This gene encodes the B-chain polypeptide of human complement subcomponent C1q [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
