Cfi Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes a serine protease that plays an important role in the classical and alternative complement pathways where it cleaves C4b and C3b components of C3 and C5 convertases. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate an active, disulfide-linked heterodimeric enzyme comprised of heavy and light chains. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cfi often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
