Anti-Factor H CFH Monoclonal Antibody

Metalloproteinase inhibitor 1; Erythroid-potentiating activity; EPA; Fibroblast collagenase inhibitor; Collagenase inhibitor; Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1; TIMP-1; TIMP1; CLGI, TIMP

A synthesized peptide derived from human Factor H Factor H functions as a cofactor in the inactivation of C3b by factor I and also increases the rate of dissociation of the C3bBb complex (C3 convertase) and the (C3b) NBB complex (C5 convertase) in the alternative complement pathway.

Metalloproteinase inhibitor that functions by forming one to one complexes with target metalloproteinases, such as collagenases, and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Acts on MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, MMP10, MMP11, MMP12, MMP13 and MMP16. Does not act on MMP14. Also functions as a growth factor that regulates cell differentiation, migration and cell death and activates cellular signaling cascades via CD63 and ITGB1. Plays a role in integrin signaling. Mediates erythropoiesis in vitro; but, unlike IL3, it is species-specific, stimulating the growth and differentiation of only human and murine erythroid progenitors. .
