Anti-Human CFD Polyclonal Antibody|抗人CFD多克隆抗体(靶标：人补体因子D/Adipsin)

Complement factor D (CFD) is a ~27 kDa protein. Serine protease that initiates the alternative pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. In contrast to other complement pathways (classical, lectin and GZMK) that are directly activated by pathogens or antigen-antibody complexes, the alternative complement pathway is initiated by the spontaneous hydrolysis of complement C3. The alternative complement pathway acts as an amplification loop that enhances complement activation by mediating the formation of C3 and C5 convertases. Activated CFD cleaves factor B (CFB) when the latter is complexed with complement C3b, activating the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway.
