- SynonymComplement C5,C5,CPAMD4
- SourceHuman Complement C5, His Tag (CO5-H52Ha) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 19 - Cys 1676 (Accession # P01031-1).Predicted N-terminus: Gln 19 (β chain) & Thr 678 (α chain)Request for sequence
- Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.The mature form of Complement C5 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of proteolytically cleaved α and β chain. Each α and β chain has a calculated MW of 73.9 kDa (β chain) and 114.4 kDa (α chain). The protein migrates as 66 kDa (β chain) and 110 kDa (α chain) under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
- EndotoxinLess than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
- Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Human Complement C5, His Tag on SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) condition. The gel was stained overnight with Coomassie Blue. The purity of the protein is greater than 90%.
Immobilized Human Complement C5, His Tag (Cat. No. CO5-H52Ha) at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Anti-C5a (Human IgG1) with a linear range of 0.2-3 ng/mL (QC tested).
- BackgroundDerived from proteolytic degradation of complement C5, C5 anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. C5 precursor is first processed by the removal of 4 basic residues, forming two chains, beta and alpha, linked by a disulfide bond. C5 convertase activates C5 by cleaving the alpha chain, releasing C5a anaphylatoxin and generating C5b (beta chain + alpha" chain). Activation of C5 by a C5 convertase initiates the spontaneous assembly of the late complement components, C5-C9, into the membrane attack complex. C5b has a transient binding site for C6. The C5b-C6 complex is the foundation upon which the lytic complex is assembled. The C5a anaphylatoxin interacts with C5AR1 and tick complement inhibitor. C5a is also a potent chemokine which stimulates the locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and directs their migration toward sites of inflammation.
