Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

Activation of C5 by a C5 convertase initiates the spontaneous assembly of the late complement components, C5-C9, into the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). C5b has a transient binding site for C6. The C5b-C6 complex is the foundation upon which the lytic complex is assembled.

Subunit:

C5 precursor is first processed by the removal of 4 basic residues, forming two chains, beta & alpha, linked by a disulfide bond. C5 convertase activates C5 by cleaving the alpha chain, releasing C5a anaphylatoxin & generating C5b (beta chain + alpha' chain).

Caution:

Ref.3 sequence differs from that shown from position 855 onward due to the presence of an Alu repeat.
