Abstract excerpt
Factor I (FI) is a serine protease that inhibits all complement pathways by degrading activated complement components C3b and C4b. FI functions only in the presence of several cofactors, such as factor H, C4b-binding protein, complement receptor 1, and membrane cofactor protein. FI is composed of two chains linked by a disulfide bridge; the light chain comprises only the serine protease (SP) domain, whereas the...
