General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.21.63 physiological function secreted Aspergillus fumigatus protease Alp1 degrades human complement proteins C3, C4, and C5. C3b is an important opsonin, but other complement proteins also have essential functions in the defense against microbes. C5b, a cleavage product of C5, initiates formation of the membrane attack complex at a later stage of complement activation, and C5a represents a potent anaphylatoxin. C1q initiates the classical pathway of complement activation, and C4 is part of the C3 convertase of the classical pathway. The enzyme is involved in the mechanism that contributes to evasion from the host complement attack, overview Aspergillus fumigatus
