背景(Background)
This gene encodes a serine proteinase that is essential for regulating the complement cascade. The encoded preproprotein is cleaved to produce both heavy and light chains, which are linked by disulfide bonds to form a heterodimeric glycoprotein. This heterodimer can cleave and inactivate the complement components C4b and C3b, and it prevents the assembly of the C3 and C5 convertase enzymes. Defects in this gene cause complement factor I deficiency, an autosomal recessive disease associated with a susceptibility to pyogenic infections. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a predisposition to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a disease characterized by acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Primary glomerulonephritis with immune deposits and age-related macular degeneration are other conditions associated with mutations of this gene. [provided by Ref
功能
catalytic activity:Inactivates complement subcomponents C3b, iC3b and C4b by proteolytic cleavage.,disease:Defects in CFI are the cause of complement factor I deficiency (CFI deficiency) [MIM:610984]. CFI deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition associated with a propensity to pyogenic infections.,disease:Defects in CFI are the cause of component I deficiency (CFI deficiency) [MIM:217030]. CFI deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition associated with a propensity to pyogenic infections.,disease:Defects in CFI may be associated with or predispose to hemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) [MIM:235400]. HUS, the most frequent cause of acute renal failure in childhood, is characterized by the association of acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. The majority of HUS cases occur after an episode of infectious diarrhea, and are associated with E.coli
