Protein Function Serum glycoprotein; accelerates the decay of the alternative pathway C3 convertase; cofactor for factor I-mediated cleavage and inactivation of C3b; recognize specific markers on host cells and control complement on self surfaces; detects and binds to initial C3b deposits in combination with specific markers on host cells;
Biochemical Properties actual conformation of factor H may be affected by the ionic strength and pH of its local microenvironment;
Significance in milk immune protection against environmental pathogens
PTMs Glycosylation; as found in humans, eight N-glycans; forty disulfide bonds; absence of hybrid and oligomannose structures; presence of complex, diantennary disialylated, non-fucosylated glycans; Disialylated fucosylated and monosialylated non-fucosylated oligosaccharides were also identified; Asn511, Asn700, Asn784, Asn804, Asn864, Asn893, Asn1011 and Asn1077 are glycosylated essentially by diantennary disialylated structures with a relative; absence of hybrid and oligomannose structures
Site(s) of PTM(s)

N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation,
Phosphorylation
Predicted Disorder Regions NA

Additional Comments In the absence of factor H, spontaneous activation of the alternative pathway of complement occurs in plasma, which leads to consumption of complement components C3 and factor B
