Function
Trypsin-like serine protease that plays an essential role in regulating the immune response by controlling all complement pathways. Inhibits these pathways by cleaving three peptide bonds in the alpha-chain of C3b and two bonds in the alpha-chain of C4b thereby inactivating these proteins. Essential cofactors for these reactions include factor H and C4BP in the fluid phase and membrane cofactor protein/CD46 and CR1 on cell surfaces.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted, extracellular space
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the liver by hepatocytes. Also present in other cells such as monocytes, fibroblasts or keratinocytes
