'''CD59''' ('''Cluster of Differentiation 59''') is a protein which attaches to host cells via a GPI anchor. CD59 can prevent the formation of complement membrane attack complex via binding to complement C8 or C9. Mutations in CD59 causes disease involving thrombosis. | '''CD59''' ('''Cluster of Differentiation 59''') is a protein which attaches to host cells via a GPI anchor.
