Also known as CFHL5, CFHR5D, FHR-5, FHR5, complement factor H related 5

Complement factor H-related protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CFHR5 gene.

Gene data

CFHR5

Name: complement factor H related 5
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CFHL5, CFHR5D, FHR-5, FHR5

This gene is a member of a small complement factor H (CFH) gene cluster on chromosome 1. Each member of this gene family contains multiple short consensus repeats (SCRs) typical of regulators of complement activation. The protein encoded by this gene has nine SCRs with the first two repeats having heparin binding properties, a region within repeats 5-7 having heparin binding and C reactive protein binding properties, and the C-terminal repeats being similar to a complement component 3 b (C3b) binding domain. This protein co-localizes with C3, binds C3b in a dose-dependent manner, and is recruited to tissues damaged by C-reactive protein. Allelic variations in this gene have been associated, but not causally linked, with two different forms of kidney disease: membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (MPGNII) and hemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS).

Complement factor H-related protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CFHR5 gene.

==Function== CFHR5 is structurally related to complement factor H which plays an important role in the regulation of a branch of the innate immune system called the alternative complement pathway. Like complement factor H, CFHR5 is able to bind to complement C3.
