CFHR1
Description
The CFHR1 (complement factor H related 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
Complement factor H-related protein 1 is a protein encoded by the CFHR1 gene in humans. It is involved in complement regulation. It can associate with lipoproteins and may play a role in lipid metabolism. Information on its location and gene details can be found on the UCSC Genome Browser.
CFHR1 plays a role in complement regulation. Its dimerized forms bind to tissue-bound complement fragments, competing with the complement inhibitor CFH. It can also associate with lipoproteins, suggesting a potential role in lipid metabolism.
CFHR1 is also known as CFHL, CFHL1, CFHL1P, CFHR1P, FHL-1, FHR-1, FHR1, H36, H36-1, H36-2, HFL1, HFL2.
