Complement Factor D (also Adipsin, C3 convertase activator and Properdin factor D) is a 37-43kD member of the S1 peptidase family of enzymes.
In mouse, it is secreted by fat cells and helps form C3 convertase, a complex of C3b, Factor B and Factor D.
This complex cleaves C3 into C3b and C3a, the latter of which is converted into ASP, a molecule that binds the adipocyte receptor C5L2 and induces triglyceride synthesis.
Mature mouse Factor D is 234 amino acids in length (aa26-259).
In contains one peptidase S1 domain that cleaves an Arg-Lys bond (aa26-254).
There are at least two potential alternative splice forms.
One shows a two aa substitution for aa 1-71, and a second shows a 15 aa substitution for aa1-107.
Mature mouse factor D shares 85% and 68% aa identity with rat and human Factor D, respectively.
