Selective Binding of Heparin/Heparan Sulfate Oligosaccharides to Factor H and Factor H-Related Proteins: Therapeutic Potential for C3 Glomerulopathies
18 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Complement dysregulation is characteristic of the renal diseases atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Complement regulatory protein Factor H (FH) inhibits complement activity, whereas FH-related proteins (FHRs) lack a complement regulatory domain. FH and FHRs compete for binding to host cell glycans, in particular heparan sulfates (HS). HS is a...
