| GeneCards | CFHPROTEIN |
| Human Protein Atlas | CFHPROTEIN |
| Decay-accelerating activity | CFH accelerates the decay of the alternative pathway C3 convertase (C3bBb), limiting complement deposition |
| Host cell protection | CFH binds to host cell surfaces via glycosaminoglycans, protecting self-tissues from complement attack |
| Fluid-phase regulation | CFH circulates at high concentrations (0.3-0.5 mg/mL) to regulate spontaneous C3 activation in plasma |
