Target

  • Function

    C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complement pathways. After activation C3b can bind covalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates or immune aggregates.
    Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. In chronic inflammation, acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils (By similarity). It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes.
    C3-beta-c: Acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils in chronic inflammation.
    Acylation stimulating protein: adipogenic hormone that stimulates triglyceride (TG) synthesis and glucose transport in adipocytes, regulating fat storage and playing a role in postprandial TG clearance. Appears to stimulate TG synthesis via activation of the PLC, MAPK and AKT signaling pathways. Ligand for C5AR2. Promotes the phosphorylation, ARRB2-mediated internalization and recycling of C5AR2 (PubMed:8376604, PubMed:2909530, PubMed:9059512, PubMed:10432298, PubMed:15833747, PubMed:16333141, PubMed:19615750).
  • Tissue specificity

    Plasma. The acylation stimulating protein (ASP) is expressed in adipocytes and released into the plasma during both the fasting and postprandial periods.
  • Involvement in disease

    Complement component 3 deficiency
    Macular degeneration, age-related, 9
    Hemolytic uremic syndrome atypical 5
    Increased levels of C3 and its cleavage product ASP, are associated with obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease. Short-term endurance training reduces baseline ASP levels and subsequently fat storage.
  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 1 anaphylatoxin-like domain.
    Contains 1 NTR domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    C3b is rapidly split in two positions by factor I and a cofactor to form iC3b (inactivated C3b) and C3f which is released. Then iC3b is slowly cleaved (possibly by factor I) to form C3c (beta chain + alpha' chain fragment 1 + alpha' chain fragment 2), C3dg and C3f. Other proteases produce other fragments such as C3d or C3g. C3a is further processed by carboxypeptidases to release the C-terminal arginine residue generating the acylation stimulating protein (ASP). Levels of ASP are increased in adipocytes in the postprandial period and by insulin and dietary chylomicrons.
    Phosphorylated by FAM20C in the extracellular medium.

      ELISA - Anti-C3b / iC3b antibody [7C12] (ab231078)

      96-well microtitre plates were coated overnight at 4°C with recombinant human C3, C3b, iC3b, and Factor H proteins, in duplicate at a concentration of 1µg/mL. Plates were blocked with 1% BSA in PBS-T (0.1% Tween®) for 1 hour before incubation with a 10-step 4x serial dilution of ab231078 from 10µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature. Antibody binding was detected with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6789) secondary antibody at a 1 in 10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were incubated with TMB ELISA substrate for 7 minutes prior to being stopped with Stop solution and absorbance measured at 450nm.

      This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 5% milk before being incubated with ab231078 overnight at 4°C at 1ug/ml. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
