Factor H autoantibodies in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome correlate with CFHR1/CFHR3 deficiency [PDF]
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a severe renal disease that is associated with defective complement regulation caused by multiple factors.

Complement factor H related proteins (CFHRs)
Factor H related proteins comprise a group of five plasma proteins: CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR3, CFHR4 and CFHR5, and each member of this group binds to the central complement component C3b. Mutations, genetic deletions, duplications or rearrangements in the individual CFHR genes are associated with a number of diseases including atypical hemolytic uremic ...

Factor H-related protein 4 activates complement by serving as a platform for the assembly of alternative pathway C3 convertase via its interaction with C3b protein [PDF]
Human complement factor H-related protein (CFHR) 4 belongs to the factor H family of plasma glycoproteins that are composed of short consensus repeat (SCR) domains.

FHR-1 binds to C-reactive protein and enhances rather than inhibits complement activation [PDF]
Factor H (FH)-related protein 1 (FHR-1) is one of the five human factor H-related proteins, which share sequence and structural homology with the alternative pathway complement inhibitor FH.

Zinc-induced self-association of complement C3b and Factor H: implications for inflammation and age-related macular degeneration. [PDF]
The sub-retinal pigment epithelial deposits (sRPEds) that are a hallmark of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) contain both C3b and mM levels of zinc.

Mechanism of Borrelia immune evasion by FhbA-related proteins.
Immune evasion facilitates survival of Borrelia, leading to infections like relapsing fever and Lyme disease. Important mechanism for complement evasion is acquisition of the main host complement inhibitor, factor H (FH). By determining the 2.2 Å crystal
