C1q plays a major role in the innate part of the immune system. It is the first complement protein to be activated in the classical complement pathway, which creates a cascade of complement protein activation to ultimately promote inflammation, enhance the performance of various immune cells, and attack the pathogen's cell membrane. This aspect of the immune system is an irreplicable aspect of the innate immune system that acts as one of the body's primary defense against invaders. | C1q plays a major role in the innate part of the immune system.
