Background Information
The complement system is an important effector that bridges the innate and adaptive immune systems. The fifth component of complement, C5, is part of the complement cascade and plays an important role in inflammation and cell killing. It consists of disulfide-linked alpha and beta polypeptide chains but can be cleaved into two active peptides (C5a and C5b) by C5 convertases. Mutations and defects in C5 are associated with severe recurrent infections. (PMID: 20010915; PMID: 8011297; PMID: 6554279)
