Protein Information
| Introduction |
Membrane cofactor protein acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. May be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Also acts as a costimulatory factor for T-cells which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity. In microbial infection, a number of viral and bacterial pathogens seem to bind MCP in order to exploit its immune regulation property and directly induce an immunosuppressive phenotype in T-cells. It also acts as a receptor for Adenovirus subgroup B2 and Ad3, a receptor for cultured Measles virus, a receptor for Herpesvirus 6/HHV-6, and a receptor for pathogenic bacteria Neisseria and Streptococcus pyogenes. |
