This gene encodes the alpha subunit of C8. C8 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 complement C8 alpha-gamma deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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. C8A inserts into the target membrane, but does not form pores by itself. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17872444, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7440581}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |MACPF| |Ldl recept a| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |complement binding| |membrane attack complex| |complement activation, alternative pathway| |cytolysis| |regulation of complement activation| |regulation of humoral immune response| |blood microparticle| |complement activation, classical pathway| |humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin| |complement activation| |immunoglobulin mediated immune response| |B cell mediated immunity| |lymphocyte mediated immunity| |protein-containing complex binding| |adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains| |humoral immune response| |regulation of immune effector process| |adaptive immune response| |activation of immune response| |leukocyte mediated immunity| |innate immune response| |positive regulation of immune response| |defense response to other organism| |immune effector process| |positive regulation of immune system process| |regulation of immune response| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |extracellular space| |regulation of immune system process| |immune response| |extracellular region| |membrane| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp175|3-Bromopyruvate 7μM R04 exp175]]|1.72| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 5090 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -7.68 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='C8A Expression in NALM6 Cells: -7.68'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
