Protein Summary
A positive regulator of the alternate pathway of complement. It binds to and stabilizes the C3- and C5-convertase enzyme complexes. This gene encodes a plasma glycoprotein that positively regulates the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system. This protein binds to many microbial surfaces and apoptotic cells and stabilizes the C3- and C5-convertase enzyme complexes in a feedback loop that ultimately leads to formation of the membrane attack complex and lysis of the target cell. Mutations in this gene result in two forms of properdin deficiency, which results in high susceptibility to meningococcal infections. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

IDG Development Level Summary
These are targets about which virtually nothing is known. They do not have known drug or small molecule activities
- AND - satisfy two or more of the following criteria:
Pubmed score: 1596.96 (req: < 5)
Gene RIFs: 30 (req: <= 3)
Antibodies: 486 (req: <= 50)
These targets do not have known drug or small molecule activities
- AND - satisfy two or more of the following criteria:
Pubmed score: 1596.96 (req: >= 5)
Gene RIFs: 30 (req: > 3)
