Background

Function：Precursor of non-enzymatic components of the classical, lectin and GZMK complement pathways, which consist in a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system|Non-enzymatic component of C3 and C5 convertases (PubMed:8538770). Generated following cleavage by complement proteases (C1S, MASP2 or GZMK, depending on the complement pathway), it covalently attaches to the surface of pathogens, where it acts as an opsonin that marks the surface of antigens for removal (PubMed:27738201, PubMed:8538770). It then recruits the serine protease complement C2b to form the C3 and C5 convertases, which cleave and activate C3 and C5, respectively, the next components of the complement pathways (PubMed:12878586, PubMed:18204047, PubMed:2387864, PubMed:6906228). Complement C4b-A isotype is responsible for effective binding to form amide bonds with immune aggregates or protein antigens, while complement C4b-B isotype catalyzes the transacylation of the thioester carbonyl group to form ester bonds with carbohydrate antigens (PubMed:8538770)|Putative humoral mediator released following cleavage by complement proteases (C1S, MASP2 or GZMK, depending on the complement pathway) (PubMed:6167582). While it is strongly similar to anaphylatoxins, its role is unclear (PubMed:25659340). Was reported to act as a mediator of local inflammatory process; however these effects were probably due to contamination with C3a and/C5a anaphylatoxins in biological assays (PubMed:25659340)

Subcellular Localization：Secreted,Synapse,Cell projection, axon,Cell projection, dendrite,Secreted,Secreted,Cell surface

Expression：
Tissue_Specificity: Complement component C4 is expressed at highest levels in the liver, at moderate levels in the adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, thyroid gland, and the kidney, and at lowest levels in the heart, ovary, small intestine, thymus, pancreas and spleen (PubMed:11367523). The extra-hepatic sites of expression may be important for the local protection and inflammatory response (PubMed:11367523)

Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification：P0C0L4 has two isomers: P0C0L4-1: 192785 Da (predicted); P0C0L4-2: 187704 Da (predicted).
Prior to secretion, the single-chain precursor is enzymatically cleaved by plasminogen (PLG) to yield non-identical chains alpha, beta and gamma (PubMed:76991)丨Upon activation, the internal thioester bond reacts with carbohydrate antigens on the target surface to form amide or ester bonds, leading to covalent association with the surface of pathogens丨Ser-1236 of complement C4b interacts with complement C3b via a thioester linkage丨N- and O-glycosylated

Subunit：Complement circulates in blood as a disulfide-linked trimer of an alpha, beta and gamma chain
