Abstract
A novel regulator of the alternative complement pathway with functions similar to that of factor H has been identified in human plasma. The cDNA encoding this factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1/reconectin) was isolated several years ago. Here, Peter Zipfel and Christine Skerka describe functional analyses revealing that this novel complement regulatory protein forms a molecular link between immune defense and cell adhesion.Entities:
