MeSH Heading: Complement C6
Tree Number(s): D12.776.124.486.274.550
Unique ID: D003183
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003183
Scope Note: A 105-kDa serum glycoprotein with significant homology to the other late complement components, C7-C9. It is a polypeptide chain cross-linked by 32 disulfide bonds. C6 is the next complement component to bind to the membrane-bound COMPLEMENT C5B in the assembly of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. It is encoded by gene C6.
