Background: The complement component proteins, C3, C4 and C5, are potent anaphylatoxins that are released during complement activation. Binding of these proteins to their respective G protein-coupled receptors, C3aR, C1R and C5aR, induces proinflammatory events, such as cellular degranulation, smooth muscle contraction, arachidonic acid metabolism, cytokine release, leukocyte activation and cellular chemotaxis. Complement Factor B, also designated Properdin Factor B or PBF2, is part of the alternate pathway of the complement system and is cleaved by Factor D into two fragments: Ba and Bb. Bb combines with complement Factor 3b to produce the C3 or C5 convertase and plays a role in the differentiation and proliferation of preactivated B lymphocytes, lysis of erythrocytes, stimulation of lymphocyte blastogenesis and rapid spreading of peripheral blood monocytes. Ba is important in inhibiting the proliferation of preactivated B lymphocytes. Adipsin, also designated complement Factor D, is a serine protease that cleaves complement Factor B and may be involved in obesity. Factor H controls the function of the alternative complement pathway. FHR-1 (complement Factor H related protein 1) may play a role in lipid metabolism
