Complement decay-accelerating factor also known as CD55 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the CD55 gene.[1]

Decay accelerating factor is a 70 kDa membrane protein that regulates the complement system on the cell surface. It prevents the assembly of the C3bBb complex (the C3-convertase of the alternative pathway) or accelerates the disassembly of preformed convertase, thus blocking the formation of the membrane attack complex.

This glycoprotein is broadly distributed among hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. It is a determinant for the Cromer blood group system.

Pathology

DAF is not expressed on paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria III (markedly abnormal) RBCs; this, coupled with CD59 absence leads to PNH.

Infectious diseases

DAF is used as a receptor by some coxsackieviruses and other enteroviruses.[2] Recombinant soluble DAF-Fc has been tested in mice as an anti-enterovirus therapy for heart damage;[3] however, the human enterovirus that was tested binds much more strongly to human DAF than to mouse or rat DAF. Echoviruses and coxsackie B viruses that use human decay-accelerating factor (DAF) as a receptor do not bind the rodent analogues of DAF.[4] and DAF-Fc has yet to be tested in humans.
