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]

What's a GeneRIF?

A review of the human C8 gamma ortholog.
Title: Human complement protein C8 gamma.
This is a study of the human C8 orthologs. Binding of C8 gamma subunit to C8 beta is dependent on the thrombospondin type 1 module, low-density lipoprotein receptor class A module, and membrane attack complex/perforin domain of C8 beta.
Title: Interaction between the C8 alpha-gamma and C8 beta subunits of human complement C8: role of the C8 beta N-terminal thrombospondin type 1 module and membrane attack complex/perforin domain.
This is a study of the human orthologs of C8 alpha, beta, and gamma. C8 gamma is not required for complement-mediated killing of Gram-negative bacteria.
Title: Role of the human C8 subunits in complement-mediated bacterial killing: evidence that C8 gamma is not essential.
Results describe the crystal structure of the human ortholog C8 alpha MACPF domain disulfide-linked to C8 gamma (alphaMACPF-gamma) at 2.15 A resolution.
Title: Crystal structure of the MACPF domain of human complement protein C8 alpha in complex with the C8 gamma subunit.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter and has a distinct N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
