Application
Complement C8 is one of the end terminals of the complement system contained in the membrane attack complex (MAC). In the (MAC), C8 initiates and coordinates MAC pore formation. It has been used in research to investigate the mechanisms of how C8-C9 and C9-C9 interactions facilitate folding of the membrane attack complex perforin (MACPF) domain to form the circular pore.
Biochem/physiol Actions
C8 is one of the components of the terminal complement complex and is required for a functional complement system. It is composed of disulfide-linked C8α and C8γ and a noncovalently associated C8β chain. During formation of the membrane-attack complex, a domain on C8α induces C9 to polymerize and form a pore-like structure.
Quality
Functionally pure by a sensitive hemolytic assay using depleted sera.

Human C8 is one of five components of the membrane attack complex of complement (MAC). It contains three subunits (C8alpha, C8beta, C8gamma) arranged as a disulfide-linked C8alpha-gamma dimer that is noncovalently associated with C8beta. C8alpha, C8beta, and complement components C6

C8 is one of five complement proteins that assemble on bacterial membranes to form the lethal pore-like "membrane attack complex" (MAC) of complement. The MAC consists of one C5b, C6, C7, and C8 and 12-18 molecules of C9. C8 is

Complement component C8 plays a pivotal role in the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), an important antibacterial immune effector. C8 initiates membrane penetration and coordinates MAC pore formation. High-resolution structures of C8 subunits have provided some insight into

Immune cell function depends on specific metabolic programs dictated by mitochondria, including nutrient oxidation, macromolecule synthesis, and post-translational modifications. Mitochondrial adaptations have been linked to acute and chronic inflammation, but the metabolic cues and precise mechanisms remain unclear. Here we
