Product details:
Human CFHR1 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CFHR1 protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma. Quantitate Human CFHR1 with 5.211 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

CFHR1 also known as Complement Factor H-Related protein 1 plays a role in the regulation of the complement system. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa. CFHR1 is mainly expressed in the liver and is present in plasma. The protein has structural similarities to Factor H with homologous domains known as short consensus repeats which contribute to its function in modulating complement activity.
Biological function summary
CFHR1 regulates the alternative pathway of the complement system. It can bind to complement component C3b inhibiting its activity and preventing over-activation of the complement cascade. CFHR1 does not function alone; it interacts with other proteins in the complement system although it forms no stable complex. Through these interactions CFHR1 maintains homeostasis in immune responses.
Pathways
CFHR1 participates significantly in the alternative complement pathway. It works alongside other complement factors such as Factor H to ensure balanced complement activation and regulation. CFHR1 indirectly influences the inflammatory response by regulating this pathway linking innate immunity processes with complement-mediated functions.
CFHR1 is linked to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In aHUS CFHR1 gene deletions can lead to unrestrained complement activation due to lack of regulation which involves Factor H. Similarly in AMD altered CFHR1 expression can affect complement regulation in the retinal tissue involving interactions with C3b and Factor H.
