C4BP Human

C4bp, C4BP, C4b-binding protein alpha chain, Proline-rich protein, PRP, C4BPA

C4BP has a flower shaped structure with each alpha chain radiating out from a central core. The arms are linked by disulfide bonds in the centre and the ends of each arm bind C4b. C4BP acts as a cofactor allowing factor I to split and permanently inactivate C4b. C4b binding protein modulates complement activation of the classical and lectin pathways. C4BP binds to C4b and accelerates the dissociation of C2a from the C3/C5 convertase C4b,C2a. This inactivates the central enzyme of both pathways. Studies have shown that on surfaces densely coated with C4b, C4BP can bind up to four C4b molecules simultaneously.
