General annotation (Comments)
| Function | C4 plays a central role in the activation of the classical pathway of the complement system. It is processed by activated C1 which removes from the alpha chain the C4a anaphylatoxin. The remaining alpha chain fragment C4b is the major activation product and is an essential subunit of the C3 convertase (C4b2a) and the C5 convertase (C3bC4b2a) enzymes of the classical complement pathway. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C4, C4a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes. |
| Subunit structure | Circulates in blood as a disulfide-linked trimer of an alpha, beta and gamma chain. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Post-translational modification | Prior to secretion, the single-chain precursor is enzymatically cleaved to yield the non-identical chains (alpha, beta and gamma). During activation, the alpha chain is cleaved by C1 into C4a and C4b, and C4b stays linked to the beta and gamma chains. Further degradation of C4b by C1 into the inactive fragments C4c and C4d blocks the generation of C3 convertase. |
| Polymorphism | Human complement component C4 is polymorphic at two loci, C4A and C4B. 13 alleles of C4A and 22 alleles of C4B have been detected. The C4A alleles carry the Rodgers (Rg) while the C4B alleles carry the Chido (Ch) blood group antigens. |
| Miscellaneous | C4A allotypes react more rapidly with the amino group of peptide antigens while C4B allotypes react more rapidly with the hydroxyl group of carbohydrate antigens. |
| Sequence similarities | Contains 1 anaphylatoxin-like domain. Contains 1 NTR domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAA99717.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. |
