(CCP) any of a superfamily of proteins involved in complement regulation, encoded in a closely linked gene cluster, and having one or more stretches of a common short consensus repeat encoding a 60–amino acid domain. Included are factor H, C4 binding protein, decay accelerating factor, membrane cofactor protein, and several complement receptors. Called also regulator of complement activation.
