Background
Factor I is an 88 kDa protein consisting of one polypeptide chain of 35.4 kDa and one of 27.6 kDa. Factor I is a serine protease which inactivates complement components C3b and C4b. C3b cleavage requires the presence of cofactors complement component (3b/4b) receptor 1 (CR1), membrane cofactor protein or factor H, while C4b cleavage requires complement component 4 binding protein or CR1. Factor I has no natural inhibitors. Dysfunctional factor I can lead to uncontrolled activation of the alternative complement pathway causing in systemic depletion of C3 and lower levels of factors B and H, resulting in recurrent pyogenic infections. Defects in CFI are also associated with haemolytic uraemic syndrome.Synonyms: AHUS3, C3B/C4B inactivator, C3BINA, C3b-INA, CFI, IF, KAF
