Definition
English
:
A 53-kDa protein that is a positive regulator of the alternate pathway of
complement activation
(
COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION
PATHWAY, ALTERNATIVE). It stabilizes the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE (C3bBb) and protects it from rapid inactivation, thus facilitating the cascade of
COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION
and the formation of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Individuals with
mutation
in the PFC gene
exhibit
properdin
deficiency and have a high susceptibility to
infections.
