NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the alpha subunit of complement component C8 that participates in the assembly of the complement membrane attack complex. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the alpha subunit, which associates with the beta and gamma subunits to form a trimeric complement component, C8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing. This gene is located adjacent to the gene encoding the beta subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
Uniprot Description
C8A: Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. C8A inserts into the target membrane, but does not form pores by itself. Defects in C8A are a cause of complement component 8 deficiency type 1 (C8D1). A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections, predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.

Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space; integral to membrane; membrane; membrane attack complex; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: complement binding; protein complex binding
Biological Process: complement activation; complement activation, alternative pathway; complement activation, classical pathway; cytolysis; immune response; immune system process; innate immune response

Product Notes
The Mouse C8a c8a (Catalog #AAA2887378) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2887378 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse C8a. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Complement component C8 alpha chain, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
