Complement Factor B (CFB) is a single-chain glycoprotein that belongs to the complement system serine protease family. It consists of: [4]
The protein contains: [5]
Crystal structures of CFB have revealed conformational changes upon C3b binding that position the Bb serine protease domain for activation [2]. [6]
In the classical/lectin/alternative complement pathways, CFB plays a central role: [7]
In the CNS:
The study of Cfb Protein has evolved significantly over the past decades. Research in this area has revealed important insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration and continues to drive therapeutic development.
Historical context and key discoveries in this field have shaped our current understanding and will continue to guide future research directions.
This section provides background information on the gene/protein and its role in the nervous system.
This overview section needs to be expanded with relevant scientific information from peer-reviewed sources.
