Conditions with this feature

Properdin deficiency, X-linked

MedGen UID:: 333322
•Concept ID:: C1839454
•: Disease or Syndrome

Properdin (factor P) is a plasma protein that is active in the alternative complement pathway of the innate immune system. It is a positive regulatory factor that binds to many microbial surfaces to stabilize the C3b,Bb convertase. Deficiency of properdin is associated in particular with a heightened susceptibility to Neisseria species (Janeway et al., 2001).
