Function
Complement-activating protein in cobra venom. It is a structural and functional analog of complement component C3b, the activated form of C3. It binds factor B (CFB), which is subsequently cleaved by factor D (CFD) to form the bimolecular complex CVF/Bb.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed by the venom gland
