| M protein | 1. Galactoside carrier in E. Coli 2. Cell surface antigen of Brucella. 3. Structural protein in the M line of striated muscle (myomesin). (4) Cell wall protein of streptococci: antibody typing of the M protein is important in identification of different strains of Group A streptococci (at least 55 serotypes are known). The M protein confers antiphagocytic properties on the cell and is present as hair like fimbriae on the surface. M protein is an important virulence factor and antibodies directed against M protein are essential for phagocytic killing of the bacteria. (18 Nov 1997) |

| congenital protein C or s deficiency | This inherited disorder of blood coagulation is characterised by a deficiency of vitamin K dependent plasma proteins (C and s) that are naturally occurring anticoagulants. This disorder results in an increased risk of blood clot formation within the circulatory system. (27 Sep 1997) |
| conjugated protein | A protein that contains atleast one prosthetic group. (09 Oct 1997) |
| copper protein | A protein containing one or more copper ions; e.g., cytochrome c oxidase, phenol oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| core II protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase | <chemical> Member of the mitochondrial-protein-processing family; protein found in subunits of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: core II protein, uccreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
