UniProt code: P36980.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in complement regulation. The dimerized forms have avidity for tissue-bound complement fragments and efficiently compete with the physiological complement inhibitor CFH. Can associate with lipoproteins and may play a role in lipid metabolism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23487775}.
 
Subunit: Head-to-tail homodimer and heterodimer with CFHR1 or CFHR5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23487775}.
