Abstract
The invention provides a recombinant purified human protein in substantial quantities which has both adipsin and complement D activity. The invention also provides materials and methods to produce the protein. In addition, antibodies immunoreactive with this protein are useful to diagnose metabolic defects attributable to adipsin deficiency or complement D deficiency. The protein can be used to treat obesity caused by adipsin deficiency or to treat subjects for infection.
