C5
-
Official Full Name
complement component 5
-
Overview
The protein encoded by this gene is the fifth component of complement, which plays an important role in inflammatory and cell killing processes. This protein is comprised of alpha and beta polypeptide chains that are linked by a disulfide bridge. An activation peptide, C5a, which is an anaphylatoxin that possesses potent spasmogenic and chemotactic activity, is derived from the alpha polypeptide via cleavage with a convertase. The C5b macromolecular cleavage product can form a complex with the C6 complement component, and this complex is the basis for formation of the membrane attack complex, which includes additional complement components. Mutations in this gene cause complement component 5 deficiency, a disease where patients show a propensity for severe recurrent infections. Defects in this gene have also been linked to a susceptibility to liver fibrosis and to rheumatoid arthritis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] -

Q&As (5)
Ask a questionYes, C5 inhibition has shown promise in treating multiple sclerosis by modulating the inflammatory response and reducing damage to the central nervous system.
C5 can be targeted using monoclonal antibodies, such as eculizumab, which inhibits its activity. This approach has been successful in managing various complement-related disorders.
In PNH, a mutation leads to uncontrolled complement activation, resulting in the destruction of red blood cells. Inhibiting C5 can prevent this process and improve clinical outcomes.
C5 inhibition can increase susceptibility to certain infections. Close monitoring and appropriate preventive measures are essential to manage the infection risk in patients receiving C5-targeted therapies.
In rheumatoid arthritis, C5 contributes to inflammation and joint damage. Targeting C5 in treatment may help mitigate the inflammatory response.
