CD59

CD59 glycoprotein also known as MAC-inhibitory protein (MAC-IP), membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL), or protectin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD59 gene.

CD59 attaches to host cells via a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. When complement activation leads to deposition of C5b678 on host cells, CD59 can prevent C9 from polymerizing and forming the complement membrane attack complex. Mutations affecting GPI that reduce expression of CD59 and decay-accelerating factor on red blood cells result in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Viruses such as HIV, human cytomegalovirus and vaccinia incorporate host cell CD59 into their own viral envelope to prevent lysis by complement.

    I know
    You need
    Love and understanding
    Sometimes
    Feel like
    I can't give you more of my time
    You keep on wanting me
    To be there girl
    But I can't be
    Why you keep stressing me
    When you know I'm doing my best
    I keep on telling you
    I do the best that I can do
    How can I get through to you
    Everything I do is for you
    1 - You got me where you want me
    Tell me what you need
    Take me baby
    Tell me what you want
    Anywhere you wanna go is for me
    You got me where you want me
    I can't keep on going through these changes
    The more you doubt me
    You keep pusing me away girl
    You keep on wanting more
    I'm doing my best
    I'm doing everything for you
    Repeat 1
    Girl, you got me yearning
    Yearning to know what I'll do with love
    Can you tell me what I'm doing
    But I'm always saying you don't understand
    I'll never leave you alone
    Repeat 1
    Repeat Lox
