Decay-accelerating factor
text:
Complement decay-accelerating factor, also known as CD55 or DAF, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the CD55 gene. DAF regulates the complement system on the cell surface. It recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that are created during activation of C4 or C3. Interaction of DAF with cell-associated C4b of the classical and lectin pathways interferes with the conversion of C2 to C2b, thereby preventing formation of the C4b2a C3-convertase, and interaction of DAF with C3b of the alternative p
