CFH protects cells by preventing the activation of the complement system when it is not needed. CFH contains 20 short consensus repeats (sushi domains, i.e., a 5 strand β-sandwich arrangement)[1]. Complement factor D (CFD) and Complement factor B (CFB) regulate a key step in the activation of the alternative complement pathway. CFD is a member of the chymotrypsin family of serine proteases. Complement factor I (CFI) is a serum protease that inhibits all complement pathways. Disease CFH mutations are involved in dense deposit disease, age-related macular degeneration, atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome, schizophrenia, stroke and the kidney disorder glomerulonephritis. CFD and CFI are implicated in age-related macular degeneration[2], [3]. Relevance CFH is recruited by human pathogens resulting in increased virulence. CFB is a novel target for treatment of cardiometabolic disease[4]. Structural highlights The . .
