Two distinct conformations of factor H regulate discrete complement-binding functions in the fluid phase and at cell surfaces
Factor H (FH) is the major regulator of C3b in the alternative pathway of the complement system in immunity. FH comprises 20 short complement regulator (SCR) domains, including eight glycans, and its Y402H polymorphism predisposes those who carry it to age-related macular degeneration. To better und...
