MeSH Heading: Complement C9
Tree Number(s): D12.776.124.486.274.850
Unique ID: D003186
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003186
Scope Note: A 63-kDa serum glycoprotein encoded by gene C9. Monomeric C9 (mC9) binds the C5b-8 complex to form C5b-9 which catalyzes the polymerization of C9 forming C5b-p9 (MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX) and transmembrane channels leading to lysis of the target cell. Patients with C9 deficiency suffer from recurrent bacterial infections.
Entry Term(s): C9 Complement; Complement 9; Complement Component 9
