Background Information
CD46, also known as Membrane cofactor protein (MCP) or MIC10, is a ubiquitously expressed type type-I transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a cofactor for complement factor I to mediate inactivation of C3b and C4b deposited on host cells. CD46 is a receptor for a large number of pathogens, including measles virus and adenovirus (PMID: 20941397). CD46 plays a role in linking innate and adaptive immune responses. It may be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Mutations of the CD46 gene have been associated with some diseases including hemolytic uremic syndrome (PMID: 26054645). CD46 is expressed on most cells as four isoforms that are derived via alternative splicing (PMID: 15324743).
