Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

Factor D cleaves factor B when the latter is complexed with factor C3b, activating the C3bb complex, which then becomes the C3 convertase of the alternate pathway. Its function is homologous to that of C1s in the classical pathway.

Catalytic activity:

Cleaves component factor B (arg-|-lys) when in complex with C3b or with cobra venom factor (CVF).
