INTRODUCTION
Complement Factor Properdin (CFP) which is a plasma glycoprotein, is a positive regulator of the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system. CFP binds and stabilizes the C3- and C5-convertase enzyme complexes in a feedback loop that eventually ends with formation of the membrane attack complex and lysis of the target cell. Mutations in CFP lead to 2 forms of properdin deficiency that cause high susceptibility to meningococcal infections.
DESCRIPTION
CFP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 465 amino acids (28-469 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 50.9kDa.
CFP is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
