About C8B

Cytogenetic location: 1p32.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:56,929,207-56,966,015 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 187 orthologues, 39 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 158.8).

Summary

This gene encodes one of the three subunits of the Complement Component 8 (C8) protein. C8 is composed of equimolar amounts of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, which are encoded by three separate genes. C8 is one component of the membrane attack complex, which mediates Cell Lysis, and it initiates membrane penetration of the complex. This protein mediates the interaction of C8 with the C5b-7 membrane attack complex precursor. In humans deficiency of this protein is associated with increased risk of meningococcal infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
