Common Haplotypes within the Chromosome 1q31.3 Region Determine Systemic Concentrations of the Entire Complement Factor H Protein Family
26 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The alternative pathway of complement activation is consistently active, keeping the complement system primed for immediate response. This constant "tick-over" mechanism is regulated by the factor H (FH) protein family, which encompasses seven highly related proteins: FH, FHL-1, and five FH-related (FHR-1 to -5) proteins. The current model is that the FHRs compete with FH and FHL-1 to fine-tune...
