## Mechanistic Overview
Complement Cascade Specificity: Microglial C3aR Antagonism Downstream of SPP1 starts from the claim that modulating C3/C3aR within the disease context of synaptic biology can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Complement Cascade Specificity: Microglial C3aR Antagonism Downstream of SPP1 starts from the claim that modulating C3/C3aR within the disease context of synaptic biology can redirect a disease-relevant proc
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The differential expression of complement regulators CD55 (decay-accelerating factor, DAF) and CD46 (membrane cofactor protein, MCP) on synaptic membranes represents a sophisticated molecular mechanism for spatial regulation of complement-mediated synaptic pruning. CD55 functions as a membrane-bound glycoprotein that accelerates the decay of both classical and alternative pathway C3 and C5 convertases (C4b2a, C3bBb, and C3b2Bb) by dissociating the enzymatic
