Background Information
The final consequence of complement activation is the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), a multiprotein assembly that perforates cell membranes, forming transmembrane channels. The MAC plays a critical role in complement-mediated hemolysis and inflammasome activation (PMID: 27444648). Complement component 9 (C9) is 1 of 5 late-acting proteins of complement that participate in the assembly and function of the MAC. C9 may be cleaved by thrombin to generate fragments C9a (25 kDa) and C9b (37 kDa) (PMID: 7523406).
