General FunctionVirus receptor activity
Specific FunctionThis protein recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that condense with cell-surface hydroxyl or amino groups when nascent C4b and C3b are locally generated during C4 and c3 activation. Interaction of daf with cell-associated C4b and C3b polypeptides interferes with their ability to catalyze the conversion of C2 and factor B to enzymatically active C2a and Bb and thereby prevents the formation of C4b2a and C3bBb, the amplification convertases of the complement cascade.(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for coxsackievirus A21, coxsackieviruses B1, B3 and B5 (PubMed:9151867). Acts as a receptor for human enterovirus 70 and D68 (Probable) (PubMed:8764022). Acts as a receptor for human echoviruses 6, 7, 11, 12, 20 and 21 (PubMed:7525274).
