Komplement-Komponente C8, A-Kette

Das C8A-Gen kodiert die alpha Polypeptidkette des Complementfaktors 8. Dieser Faktor ist am membrane attack complex (MAC) beteiligt, welcher Poren in die Bakterienwände bestimmter Bakterien zu reißen und damit die Zerstörung herbeizuführen vermag. Mutationen sind für den autosomal rezessiven Complementfaktor 8-Mangel Typ 1 verantwortlich.
