Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

Responsible for cleaving the alpha-chains of C4b and C3b in the presence of the cofactors C4-binding protein and Factor H respectively.

Catalytic activity:

Inactivates complement subcomponents C3b, IC3b and C4b by proteolytic cleavage.

Subunit:

Heterodimer of a light and heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds.

Subcellular location:

Extracellular.
