Summary

Name C4A
Full Name Complement C4-A
Synonyms Acidic complement C4, C3 and PZP-like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain-containing protein 2 | CO4, CPAMD2
Primary ID P0C0L4
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 10
Pathways Complement Signaling
Function Non-enzymatic component of C3 and C5 convertases and thus essential for the propagation of the classical complement pathway. Covalently binds to immunoglobulins and immune complexes and enhances the solubilization of immune aggregates and the clearance of IC through CR1 on erythrocytes. C4A isotype is responsible for effective binding to form amide bonds with immune aggregates or protein antigens, while C4B isotype catalyzes the transacylation of the thioester carbonyl group to form ester bonds with carbohydrate antigens.; FUNCTION
