CD55-antigener

Svensk definition

Glykoproteiner med stor spridning bland hematopoetiska och icke-he matopoetiska celler. CD55 motverkar sammansättandet av C3-konvertas och blockerar därmed bildandet av membran-attackkomplex.

Engelsk definition

GPI-linked membrane proteins broadly distributed among hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. CD55 prevents the assembly of C3 CONVERTASE or accelerates the disassembly of preformed convertase, thus blocking the formation of the membrane attack complex.
