Barnum's research has focused primarily on the role of complement in the central nervous system. Thus, we recommend that the CLU, not Cn, be used as the abbreviation for clusterin. Properdin, discovered by Pillemer et al. Properdin recognizes and binds to the C3 convertase leading to a 5—10 fold increase in the stability of this enzyme complex Aside from increasing the half-life of the C3 convertase, properdin—after interacting with specific glycosaminoglycans—can also directly initiate complement activation on some altered self-surfaces, such as apoptotic cells, by directing C3b deposition Abbreviating properdin as FP Factor Properdin to bring it in line with FB, FD, FH, and FI, was briefly considered among the complement community but was abandoned as the overwhelming majority of publications used, and uses, the term properdin without any arising issues.

Thus, we recommend that properdin be used as the sole term. To conclude, we hope that the updates proposed here for cleavage fragments, PRMs, activation states and regulatory proteins of the complement system will enhance communication and thus understanding of both the basic complement pathways and consequences of activation or lack thereof, as well as, the newly discovered nuances of the complement system in the classroom, in research, in pharma and in the boardroom. It is hoped that the simplified uniform nomenclature of this intricate system will facilitate therapeutic development and appropriate application to the clinic.

Keywords: complement, nomenclature, C1, C1q, C2, lectin pathway, collectins, clusterin.

Introduction The complement system is composed of more than 50 different molecules and cleavage products including but not limited to pattern recognition molecules PRMs , proenzymes, proteases, anaphylatoxins, opsonins, receptors, regulators, and multi-molecular complexes that are critical to host defense and maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis 1. Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Clusterin Clusterin is a multifunctional glycoprotein known in the complement field as binding to C5b-9 complexes sequestering soluble C5b-9 to prevent host membrane interaction and thus cell and tissue damage Properdin Properdin, discovered by Pillemer et al.
