Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes the final component of the complement system. It participates in the formation of the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). The MAC assembles on bacterial membranes to form a pore, permitting disruption of bacterial membrane organization. Mutations in this gene cause component C9 deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009].
- UniProt Summary: Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells (PubMed:9634479, PubMed:9212048, PubMed:26841934). C9 is the pore- forming subunit of the MAC (PubMed:4055801, PubMed:26841934). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26841934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4055801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9212048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9634479}.
