QuickView for CD55 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

CD55 Homo sapiens

Full name:

CD55 molecule (Cromer blood group)

Synonyms:

CHAPLE, CR, CROM, DAF, TC, complement decay-accelerating factor, CD55 antigen, CD55 molecule, decay accelerating factor for complement (Cromer blood group), Cromer blood group antigen

Genomic Location:

Chr 1: 205561488-205600470

Description:

This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. Binding of the encoded protein to complement proteins accelerates their decay, thereby disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on this protein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Alternative splicing results in mu...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. Binding of the encoded protein to complement proteins accelerates their decay, thereby disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on this protein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The predominant transcript variant encodes a membrane-bound protein, but alternatively spliced transcripts may produce soluble proteins.
