Product details
While the standard is the same as the one provided in the corresponding SimpleStep ELISA Kit, it cannot be treated as the consumable provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kit due to differences in its concentration calibration.
Abcam guarantee that this protein standard is suitable for use in a sandwich ELISA. Individual results may vary due to differences in technique, laboratory equipment, buffers, and other experimental factors. The detection range provided for this protein standard is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data.
The protein concentration is the concentration after validation on our sandwich ELISA platform. This Standard protein is guaranteed to work with our Capture and Detector antibodies in sELISA. Please contact our Scientific Support team to know which antibody pair is suitable for this protein.

Biological function summary
Factor I plays a role in maintaining immune homeostasis by preventing excessive complement activation. It acts within a complex that includes cofactors such as Factor H Complement Factor 4 binding protein (C4BP) and Membrane Cofactor Protein (MCP). These interactions allow Factor I to selectively degrade activated complement components ensuring that complement activity is kept in check to avoid host cell damage.
Pathways
Factor I operates in both the classical and alternative complement pathways. In the classical pathway it regulates C3b and C4b breakdown to control the formation of the C3 convertase. In the alternative pathway Factor I works in conjunction with Factor H to degrade C3b. This regulation is important to prevent runaway activation protecting healthy tissue from complement-mediated damage.

Function
Trypsin-like serine protease that plays an essential role in regulating the immune response by controlling all complement pathways. Inhibits these pathways by cleaving three peptide bonds in the alpha-chain of C3b and two bonds in the alpha-chain of C4b thereby inactivating these proteins (PubMed : 17320177, PubMed : 7360115). Essential cofactors for these reactions include factor H and C4BP in the fluid phase and membrane cofactor protein/CD46 and CR1 on cell surfaces (PubMed : 12055245, PubMed : 2141838, PubMed : 9605165). The presence of these cofactors on healthy cells allows degradation of deposited C3b by CFI in order to prevent undesired complement activation, while in apoptotic cells or microbes, the absence of such cofactors leads to C3b-mediated complement activation and subsequent opsonization (PubMed : 28671664).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
