InnateDB Annotation
Summary
CFP binds to early apoptotic T cells and initiates complement activation, leading to C3B opsonization and ingestion by phagocytic cells.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Cfp plays a role in intestinal homeostasis in response to an infectious challenge to activate Hc (C5a), which in turn provides protection through Il6 expression by the epithelium.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a plasma glycoprotein that positively regulates the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system. This protein binds to many microbial surfaces and apoptotic cells and stabilizes the C3- and C5-convertase enzyme complexes in a feedback loop that ultimately leads to formation of the membrane attack complex and lysis of the target cell. Mutations in this gene result in two forms of properdin deficiency, which results in high susceptibility to meningococcal infections. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
