Function
Involved in complement regulation. The dimerized forms have avidity for tissue-bound complement fragments and efficiently compete with the physiological complement inhibitor CFH. Can associate with lipoproteins and may play a role in lipid metabolism.
Finally, we have been able to establish that CFHR1 can sterically inhibit the interaction that CFH/CFHL-1 SCR1-4 makes with C3b.|CFH regulates the alternative pathway of complement in both the fluid phase and on self-surfaces: It competes with complement factor B (CFB) for binding to C3b and C3(H2O) thereby blocking the formation of the pro-convertase complexes, C3bB and C3(H2O)B. It also accelerates the decay of any existing C3bBb or C3(H2O)Bb. |these data have allowed us to consolidate one possible model of CFHR1-mediated deregulation of CFH/CFHL-1 on an activating surface in which CFHR1 directly competes with or blocks both CFH-binding sites on C3b
