Absence of CD59
Decay-accelerating factor
Complement decay-accelerating factor also known as CD55 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the CD55 gene. Decay accelerating factor is a 70 kDa membrane protein that regulates the complement system on the cell surface. It prevents the assembly of the C3bBb complex or accelerates the disassembly of preformed convertase, thus blocking the formation of the membrane attack complex. This glycoprotein is broadly distributed among hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. It is a determinant for the Cromer blood group system.
