CFP

CFP, short for Complement Factor Properdin, is also commonly known as properdin. It plays a crucial role in the immune system. CFP stabilizes the alternative pathway C3 and C5 convertases, thereby enhancing the activation of the complement system. This protein is involved in the alternative complement pathway, which is essential for innate immune defense.
Abnormalities in CFP are linked to various diseases, such as recurrent infections and autoimmune disorders. In drug development, efforts are being made to target CFP to modulate the complement system. Some potential therapies are in pre - clinical or early - stage clinical trials, aiming to regulate excessive complement activation and treat related diseases.
