Complement component 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C5 gene.[3]

Complement component 5 is involved in the complement system. It is cleaved into C5a and C5b:

Deficiency is thought to cause Leiner's disease.

Function

Complement component 5 is the fifth component of complement, which plays an important role in inflammatory and cell killing processes. This protein is composed of alpha and beta polypeptide chains that are linked by a disulfide bridge. An activation peptide, C5a, which is an anaphylatoxin that possesses potent spasmogenic and chemotactic activity, is derived from the alpha polypeptide via cleavage with a convertase. The C5b macromolecular cleavage product can form a complex with the C6 complement component, and this complex is the basis for formation of the membrane attack complex, which includes additional complement components.[3]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene cause complement component 5 deficiency, a disease where patients show a propensity for severe recurrent infections. Defects in this gene have also been linked to a susceptibility to liver fibrosis and to rheumatoid arthritis.[3]

Therapeutic applications

The drug eculizumab (trade name Soliris) prevents cleavage of C5 into C5a and C5b.[5]

Complement system pathway

Membrane attack complex. Some labels are in Polish.
