Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
C4B_2
Name
complement component 4B (Chido/Rodgers blood group), copy 2
Synonyms
  • complement C4-B-like
  • complement component 4B (Chido blood group), copy 2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables carbohydrate binding activity and complement binding activity. Involved in complement activation and positive regulation of apoptotic cell clearance. Located in extracellular space and symbiont cell surface.
RGD Description
This gene encodes the basic form of complement factor 4, part of the classical activation pathway. The protein is expressed as a single chain precursor which is proteolytically cleaved into a trimer of alpha, beta, and gamma chains prior to secretion. The trimer provides a surface for interaction between the antigen-antibody complex and other complement components. The alpha chain may be cleaved to release C4 anaphylatoxin, a mediator of local inflammation. Deficiency of this protein is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. Varying haplotypes of this gene cluster exist, such that individuals may have 1, 2, or 3 copies of this gene. In addition, this gene exists as a long form and a short form due to the presence or absence of a 6.4 kb endogenous HERV-K retrovirus in intron 9. This GeneID and its associated RefSeq record represent a second copy of C4B found on ALT_REF_LOCI_7. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
