Complement Factor D is a serine protease that catalyzes the initial proteolytic step in the alternative pathway of complement. Expressed in adipose tissue at high levels, factor D is also known as adipsin (1). It is an exceptionally specific protease and the only known protein substrate is factor B in complex with C3 (2). Factor D protease activity is regulated by reversible conformational changes, which differs from the majority of serine proteases whose regulation involves either activation by processing of the zymogens or inactivation by binding of the inhibitors. Compared to its physiologically important proteolytic activity, factor D has much lower activity toward synthetic peptide substrates. However, thioester substrates have been routinely used for assessing factor D activity (3).
