Complement factor I (CFI)

Target
CFI
Molecular classification
Serine protease, Enzyme
01

Overview

Complement factor I (CFI, also known as factor I or FI) is a serine protease and a key regulatory protein of the complement system, which is part of the innate immune response. It plays an essential role in controlling all complement activation pathways by degrading activated complement proteins C3b and C4b, thereby preventing excessive or inappropriate activation that could damage host tissues.

Other names
Factor IFI
02

Mechanism of action

Inhibits complement activation by cleaving C3b and C4b.
