Description
C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complement pathways. After activation C3b can bindcovalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates orimmune aggregates. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complementC3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process
