Biological_Activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized CD46 at 2 μg/ml can bind Anti-CD46 rabbit monoclonal antibody, the EC50 of human CD46 protein is 0.8333-1.054 ng/ml.
Relevance: Acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. May be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Also acts as a costimulatory factor for T-cells which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity.(Microbial infection) A number of viral and bacterial pathogens seem to bind MCP in order to exploit its immune regulation property and directly induce an immunosuppressive phenotype in T-cells.(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Adenovirus subgroup B2 and Ad3.(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for cultured Measles virus.(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Herpesvirus 6/HHV-6.(Microbial infection) May act as a receptor for pathogenic bacteria Neisseria and Streptococcus pyogenes (PubMed:7708671, PubMed:9379894, PubMed:11260136, PubMed:11971006).
