| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Decay accelerating factor (DAF)/complement decay-accelerating factor (CD55) regulates adaptive T cell responses. It serves as a receptor for the invasion of human RBCs by malaria parasites. It modulates the complement cascade on the cell surface. It also transfers the antigen determinants for the Cromer blood group system (CROM). |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
| General description: | Decay accelerating factor (DAF)/complement decay-accelerating factor (CD55) is a cell associated C3 and C5 convertase regulator made of 4 tandem repeats (~60 amino acid long) known as short consensus repeats (SCRs) or complement control repeats (CCPs). It is a glycosylphosphatidylinosi |
