Complement factor I (CFI) is a serine protease that inhibits the complement pathway by degrading extracellular C3b into inactive fragments iC3b and C3f. Factor H acts as cofactor of factor I proteolytic activity on C3b [Ross JD et al 1982; Masaki T et al 1992; Fukui A et al 2002; Nilsson SC et al 2010].

Predicted chicken CFI shows 51% amino acid sequence identity with its human counterpart. The chicken events of complement factor I activity have not been verified experimentally but are inferred from properties of the orthologous human proteins.
