C9 complement C9

Gene ID: 735, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C9D; ARMD15

Summary

This gene encodes the final component of the complement system. It participates in the formation of the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). The MAC assembles on bacterial membranes to form a pore, permitting disruption of bacterial membrane organization. Mutations in this gene cause component C9 deficiency.
