Protein Information
Name	CD59 {ECO:0000303\|PubMed:2475570, ECO:0000312\|HGNC:HGNC:1689}
Function	Potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) action, which protects human cells from damage during complement activation (PubMed:11882685, PubMed:1698710, PubMed:2475111, PubMed:2475570, PubMed:2606909, PubMed:9053451). Acts by binding to the beta-haipins of C8 (C8A and C8B) components of the assembling MAC, forming an intermolecular beta-sheet that prevents incorporation of the multiple copies of C9 required for complete formation of the osmolytic pore (PubMed:11882685, PubMed:1698710, PubMed:36797260).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted. Note=Localizes to the cell surface (PubMed:36797260). Soluble form found in a number of tissues (PubMed:8670172).
