FunctionComplement C3 (CC3) activates the complement system which is part of the immune response. CC3 is proteolytically cleaved by C3 convertase to C3a (residues 672-748) and C3b (residues 23-667, 749-1663).
. DiseaseA mutation in CC3 cause the progressive kidney disease: dense deposit disease. Other mutations are associated with recurrent bacterial infections. RelevanceLow levels of CC3 in the blood are associated with some kidney diseases. 3D structures of complement C3
