Preparation and Storage

Background: Complement Component C9

Complement Component 9 (C9) is a 65-70 kDa protein of the complement membrane attack complex (C5b-9) that binds C5b-8, polymerizes, and forms pores upon activation of the complement cascade. Mature human C9 shares 60% and 66% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat C9, respectively. It may be proteolytically cleaved by thrombin into a 28-34 kDa cysteine-rich, mannosylated soluble C9a subunit, and a 37-38 kDa membrane-anchored N-glycosylated C9b. These fragments are also able to polymerize.
