- Background
- The complement 1 complex cleaves complement 4 (C4) to form C4b and C4a. C4b levels are strictly regulated. Single site cleavage of the C4bs alpha chain by Factor I forms iC4b and blocks C3 convertase, inhibiting opsonisation and activation of the classical pathway. iC4b is further degraded into the inactive fragments C4d and C4c. C4c consists of two a-chain fragments, alpha 4 (13 kDa) and alpha 3 (25 kDa) linked to a beta chain through disulphide bridges and a gamma chain. It is expressed in the blood plasma.Synonyms: CPAMD2, CPAMD3, Complement Component 4
