InnateDB Annotation
Summary
Central protein of the complement system; Classical, lectin and alternative pathways of complement all converge at the activation of C3 yielding a diverse set of biological responses
T cell-expressed CTSL1 cleaves C3 into active C3a and C3b fragments mediating the intracellular and extracellular C3 activation in T cells.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] C3a and its receptor C3ar1 are critical for defense against C. psittaci in mouse lung infection.
Entrez Gene
Summary Complement component C3 plays a central role in the activation of complement system. Its activation is required for both classical and alternative complement activation pathways. People with C3 deficiency are susceptible to bacterial infection. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
