Post Translational Modifications | Initially, positions and connectivity of disulfide bonds were based on peptide sequencing done for the human protein. The high-resolution crystal structure for the mouse protein corrected the positions and connectivities of some disulfide bonds. The distance between Cys-55 and Cys-92 in the monomeric mouse protein precludes formation of a disulfide bond, contrary to what is seen in the structure of the human polymeric form of the protein (Probable). |
Function | Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. C9 is the pore-forming subunit of the MAC. |
