General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | all pathways converge at the level of the C3 molecule, where downstream events can be amplified by a mechanism of positive feedback supported by complement convertases: the classical/lectin pathway C3 convertase (C4b2a) or the alternative pathway C3 convertase (C3bBb). These convertases further cleave C3 to C3b and C3a, of which C3b binds to nearby surfaces, providing a convertase assembly platform, or to pre-assembled C3 convertases, switching them to C5 convertases (C4b2aC3b or C3bBbC3b, respectively). The C5 convertase cleaves C5 molecules to C5a and C5b and the latter initiates formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC, C5b678polyC9) and its insertion into a target membrane.
