Biological function summary
One important feature of CD59 is its role as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein involved in safeguarding cells from complement-mediated damage. It does not exist within a larger complex but functions at the cell surface to inhibit the assembly of complement components C5b-9 which form the MAC. This ability to inhibit MAC is essential in maintaining self-tissue from unintended damage during immune responses.
Pathways
CD59 participates in the regulation of the complement cascade specifically within the terminal pathway. The complement system serves as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity contributing to processes like opsonization and cell lysis. CD59's inhibitory action directly impacts pathways that utilize terminal components such as C5b. Effective CD59 function prevents excessive complement activation ensuring that an immune response does not damage host tissues. It links closely with other complement regulatory proteins like CD55 which also mitigate complement cascade activation.
