The human complement subcomponent C1q associates with C1r and C1s in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system. The protein encoded by this gene is known to bind to the globular heads of C1q molecules and inhibit C1 activation. This protein has also been identified as the p32 subunit of pre-mRNA splicing factor SF2, as well as a hyaluronic acid-binding protein.<ref name="entrez"/>

==Protein subunit== C1QBP is 282 amino acid in length and has three homologous subunit with its N-terminal 73 amino acid residues cleaved off to produce mature C1QBP. C1QBP appears as a monomer around 33 kDa on SDS-PAGE gel under both reducing and nonreducing condition but migrates as a trimer on size-exclusion chromatography (gel filtration).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jiang |first1=Jianzhong |title=rystal structure of human p32, a doughnut-shaped acidic mitochondrial matrix protein |journal=PNAS |date=1999 |volume=96 |issue=7 |pages=3572–3577 |pmid=10097078 |pmc=22335 |doi=10.1073/pnas.96.7.3572 |bibcode=1999PNAS...96.3572J |doi-access=free }}</ref>

==Protein structure== The crystal structure of C1QBP at 2.25 Å resolution shows a homotrimeric ring displaying symmetry. The individual subunits are held together by noncovalent interactions and forms a doughnut shaped quaternary structure with a central cavity of 20 Å in diameter. Each Subunit of C1QBP has seven β-strand (β1- β7) and three α-helices (α1- α3). C1QBP is negatively charged on its soluble face while the membrane face is predominantly positively charged.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jiang |first1=Jianzhong |title=rystal structure of human p32, a doughnut-shaped acidic mitochondrial matrix protein |journal=PNAS |date=1999 |volume=96 |issue=7 |pages=3572–3577 |pmid=10097078 |pmc=22335 |doi=10.1073/pnas.96.7.3572 |bibcode=1999PNAS...96.3572J |doi-access=free }}</ref>
