Summary | This gene encodes a secreted protein that is a core component of the complement 8 (C8) complex. C8 is part of the membrane attack complex which participates in the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]. |
