CREG has the ability to protect host cells from chicken complement activity [Oshiumi H et al 2005]. CREG is believed to correspond to one long homologous repeat (LHR) of huCR1.

Human CR1 is a potent inhibitor of both the classical and the alternative pathways of complement activation by exhibiting decay-accelerating activity for both C3 and C5 convertases, as well as cofactor activity for factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b and C4b.
