C4 binding protein β deficiency

Complement component 4-binding protein (C4BP) is one of the two polypeptides that in humans compose the plasma glycoprotein C4b-binding protein. C4BP binds the anticoagulant vitamin K-dependent protein S. It can play a role in the control of the protein C anticoagulatory pathway. Mutations in C4BP are associated with high risk for thromboembolic disorders.
