This gene encodes a protein involved in the regulation ofthe complement cascade. The encoded glycoprotein is also known asthe decay-accelerating factor (DAF); binding of DAF to complementproteins accelerates their decay, disrupting the cascade andpreventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on the DAFglycoprotein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Twoalternatively spliced transcripts encoding different proteins havebeen identified. The predominant transcript encodes amembrane-bound protein expressed on cells exposed to plasmacomponent proteins but an alternatively spliced transcript producesa soluble protein present at much lower levels. Additional, alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, buttheir biological validity has not been determined. [provided byRefSeq].
