other info1 :
Source Note: Human serum/plasma. Protein Type: Native. Biological Significance: Native human C7 is a naturally glycosylated protein composed of a single polypeptide chain of 92,400 Da. C7 is essential for formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) and is activated non-proteolytically by binding to recently-formed C5b,C6 complexes at the cell membrane. Each pathway of complement activation generates proteolytic enzyme complexes (C3/C5 convertases) which are bound to the target surface.
other info2 :
Biohazard Information: Donor samples were tested and found to be negative for HBsAg, HTLV-I/II, STS, and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II. Nonetheless caution should be used when handling this material as there is a margin of error in all tests. Dry Ice Shipment: Extra charge fee may add to your shipping cost as dry ice is required to ship this product.

ncbi summary :
C7 is a component of the complement system. It participates in the formation of Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). People with C7 deficiency are prone to bacterial infection. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
C7: 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. C7 serves as a membrane anchor. Defects in C7 are a cause of complement component 7 deficiency (C7D). 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. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5p13. Cellular Component: membrane attack complex; extracellular region. Biological Process: cellular sodium ion homeostasis; cytolysis; complement activation, alternative pathway; regulation of complement activation; innate immune response; complement activation, classical pathway; complement activation. Disease: Complement Component 7 Deficiency
