Description
CFHR2 belongs to the complement factor H protein family. The human complement factor H protein family consists of the complement and immune regulators factor H, the factor H-like protein 1(FHL-1) and five factor H-related proteins (CFHR-1 to -5). Members of the H-related protein family are exclusively composed of individually folded protein domains, termed short consensus repeats (SCRs) or complement control modules. CFHR2 contains 4 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains and is expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. CFHR2 might be involved in complement regulation. It can associate with lipoproteins and may play a role in lipid metabolism
