Rabbit Complement C5 Protein, His Tag | CO5-R52H4-1mg| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe

Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C5, C5 anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. C5 precursor is first processed by the removal of 4 basic residues, forming two chains, beta and alpha, linked by a disulfide bond. C5 convertase activates C5 by cleaving the alpha chain, releasing C5a anaphylatoxin and generating C5b (beta chain + alpha' chain). Activation of C5 by a C5 convertase initiates the spontaneous assembly of the late complement components, C5-C9, into the membrane attack complex. C5b has a transient binding site for C6. The C5b-C6 complex is the foundation upon which the lytic complex is assembled. The C5a anaphylatoxin interacts with C5AR1 and tick complement inhibitor. C5a is also a potent chemokine which stimulates the locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and directs their migration toward sites of inflammation.

Source: Rabbit Complement C5, His Tag (CO5-R52H4) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 19 - Ala 1678 (Accession # XP_008271599.1).

Format: Powder.

Tag: C-10×His.

Expression System: HEK293.

Expression Region: Gln 19 - Ala 1678.

Conjugate: Unconjugated.

Molecular Weight: 73.8 kDa (β chain) & 111.9 kDa (α chain).

Characteristics: This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The mature form of Complement C5 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of proteolytically cleaved α and β chain. During cultivation, Complement C5 will be partially processed into α and β chain and has a calculated MW of 73.8 kDa (β chain) and 111.9 kDa (α chain) respectively. The protein migrates as 80 kDa (β chain), 120 kDa (α chain) and 200 kDa (α & β chain) under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Purity: 90%.

Buffer: PBS, pH7.4.
