Abstract
The Regulators of Complement Activation (RCA) are a fascinating group of proteins that play important roles in innate and acquired immunity. In this review, we examine structure-function aspects of three membrane-bound RCA proteins and discuss the unique impact of their genetic organization on their evolution.
