Description : The CFB gene encodes complement factor B, which is part of the alternative complement pathway. Complement factor B is cleaved into a 30-kD N terminal 'Ba' fragment and a 57-kD C-terminal 'Bb' fragment by factor D (CFD; 134350) in the presence of C3b. The C-terminal half of the Bb fragment contains the essential active site residues characteristic of serine proteases, but has a molecular weight twice that of proteinases previously described, suggesting that it is a novel type of serine proteinase. The Bb fragment forms the C3bBb alternative pathway convertase (Christie and Gagnon, 1983). Complement factor B was originally known as a glycine-rich beta-glycoprotein (GBG).;
