Summary
[Homo sapiens] C8G is the gamma subunit of complement factor 8 (C8) and is one of five components that interact to form the membrane attack complex (MAC).
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a secreted protein that is a core component of the complement 8 (C8) complex. C8 is part of the membrane attack complex which participates in the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
