Entry terms

  • Antigens, CD55
  • CD55 Antigen
  • Complement Decay Accelerating Factor
  • Complement Decay-Accelerating Factor
  • Decay Accelerating Factor
  • Decay-Accelerating Factor
  • Decay-Accelerating Factor, Complement

Scope note

  • GPI-linked membrane proteins broadly distributed among hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. CD55 prevents the assembly of C3 CONVERTASE or accelerates the disassembly of preformed convertase, thus blocking the formation of the membrane attack complex.

History note

  • 2018 (1985)
