C6
geneOn this page
Summary
C6 (complement C6, HGNC:1339) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p13.1, encoding Complement component C6 (P13671). Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), a multiprotein complex activated by the complement cascade, which inserts into a target cell membrane and forms a pore, leading to target cell membrane rupture and cell lysis.
This gene encodes a component of the complement cascade. The encoded protein is part of the membrane attack complex that can be incorporated into the cell membrane and cause cell lysis. Mutations in this gene are associated with complement component-6 deficiency. Transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.

Complement component C6 — P13671 (reviewed: P13671)
All UniProt accessions (3): C9JC72, C9JX36, P13671
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), a multiprotein complex activated by the complement cascade, which inserts into a target cell membrane and forms a pore, leading to target cell membrane rupture and cell lysis. The MAC is initiated by proteolytic cleavage of C5 into complement C5b in response to the classical, alternative, lectin and GZMK complement pathways. The complement pathways consist in a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. Together with component C5b, involved in MAC complex assembly: complement C5b and C6 associate with the outer leaflet of target cell membrane, reducing the energy for membrane bending.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the membrane attack complex (MAC), composed of complement C5b, C6, C7, C8A, C8B, C8G and multiple copies of the pore-forming subunit C9.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Target cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. All cysteine residues are assumed to be cross-linked to one another. Individual modules containing an even number of conserved cysteine residues are supposed to have disulfide linkages only within the same module.
Disease relevance. Complement component 6 deficiency (C6D) [MIM:612446] A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections, predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Membrane attack complex (MAC) assembly is inhibited by CD59, thereby protecting self-cells from damage during complement activation. MAC assembly is also inhibited by clusterin (CLU) chaperones that inhibit polymerization of C9.
Polymorphism. The sequence shown is that of allotype C6 B.
Similarity. Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.
