Factor H (CFH) regulates the alternative pathway C3 convertase C3bBb and its C3b component both in plasma and at host cell surfaces. CFH binds to membrane-associated C3b, competing with Factor B and thereby preventing formation of the active C3 convertase C3bBb. In addition, it acts as a cofactor for the Factor I-mediated proteolytic inactivation of C3b to iC3b.
