Description
Human Complement Factor D/CFD Recombinant Protein His Tag Lyophilized has been recombinantly produced in HEK293 cells.
Complement factor D (CFD) is also known as Adipsin, C3 convertase activator, Properdin factor D (PFD), which contains one peptidase S1 domain and belongs to the peptidase S1 family. CFD/Adipsin cleaves factor B when the latter is complexed with factor C3b, activating the C3bbb complex, which then becomes the C3 convertase of the alternate pathway. CFD/Adipsin is a serine protease that stimulates glucose transport for triglyceride accumulation in fats cells and inhibits lipolysis. Defects in CFD/Adipsin are the cause of complement factor D deficiency which predisposes to invasive meningococcal disease.
This protein carries a polyhistidine Tag at the C-terminal. The protein has a calculated MW of 26.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 28 kDa under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation
