Cfi, ortholog of human CFI, encodes complement factor I, the sole protease that irreversibly inactivates deposited C3b and C4b. The secreted two-chain enzyme couples a heavy chain of FIMAC, SRCR, and two LDL receptor class A modules to a chymotrypsin-like serine protease light chain that is unusual in requiring an allosteric partner: catalysis proceeds only when C3b or C4b is engaged with a cofactor such as factor H, membrane cofactor protein CD46, C4b-binding protein, or CR1, which explains both its exceptional specificity and its sequential cleavage of C3b at two arginine sites to yield iC3b and then C3dg. Human deficiency causes secondary C3 depletion with pyogenic infection, and heterozygous mutations predispose to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and macular degeneration. Nulls consume C3 spontaneously and lack compensating proteases. Deploy the null for uncontrolled amplification phenotypes, hepatocyte-conditional alleles to test liver source, and humanization when factor I supplementation or cofactor-dependent activity is measured.
ingenious targeting laboratory offers 2 distinct Cfi (CFI) catalog mouse models, featuring conditional knockout and standard knockout. Researchers can order pre-developed catalog lines or request a custom mouse model, including humanized, knockin, and transgenic variations with verified germline transmission.

2 Cfi lines with QC documentation and technical support. Cfi floxed mice use loxP flanked alleles for Cre dependent tissue specific knockout.
Cfi-Flox
CKOCKO
These strains carry loxP sites flanking exon 2 of Cfi gene. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific conditional expression of Cfi gene.
Cfi-KO
KOKO
Exon 2 of Cfi gene was deleted to generate Cfi knockout mice.

Order catalog modelA Cfi knockout mouse has the Cfi gene permanently inactivated, enabling loss of function studies. A Cfi conditional knockout (floxed) mouse carries loxP sites flanking a critical exon of Cfi, allowing Cre recombinase dependent deletion in specific tissues or at specific timepoints.
