Complement component C6 often called simply C6 is an essential protein in the complement system. It is part of the terminal complement pathway which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC). C6 has a molecular weight of about 93 kDa and is mainly produced in the liver. It circulates in plasma and interacts with other complement proteins to form MAC aiding in pathogen elimination and cell lysis.

Biological function summary

The role of C6 is the progression and stabilization of the MAC complex which is part of the innate immune system's defense. C6 collaborates with other complement proteins such as C5b C7 C8 and C9. This cooperation helps penetrate the membrane of pathogenic cells leading to cell destruction. Detecting and quantifying C6 levels is possible using techniques like complement C6 ELISA and C6 graphs valuable for research into immune response mechanisms.

Pathways

The complement component C6 is an important player in the terminal complement pathway and the larger complement activation pathway. Within these pathways C6 interacts closely with proteins like C5b and C9 to facilitate the assembly of the MAC. C6's involvement is critical for mounting an efficient immune response against invading pathogens making it an important focus for immunology studies involving the complement cascade.

C6 deficiencies are linked to increased susceptibility to infections particularly by Neisseria species which cause diseases like meningitis. Individuals with C6-related complement deficiencies might show recurrent bacterial infections highlighting its role in immune defense. The protein's interplay with other complement components notably C5 and C7 can influence the disease states and inform potential therapeutic approaches aimed at boosting host defense mechanisms.
