Entrez ID 629
Gene name Complement factor B
Gene symbol CFB
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AHUS4ARMD14BFBFDCFABCFBDFBFBI12GBGH2-BfPBF2
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.33
Summary This gene encodes complement factor B, a component of the alternative pathway of complement activation. Factor B circulates in the blood as a single chain polypeptide. Upon activation of the alternative pathway, it is cleaved by complement factor D yieldi
