C4A/C4B Antibody (PACO02208)

The C4a/C4b Antibody (PACO02208) is a specialized tool for researchers studying the complement system, specifically the C4 component. This antibody, produced and purified in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity when used in various experimental techniques such as Western blot and immunohistochemistry.The C4 protein, consisting of C4a and C4b subunits, is a key player in the complement cascade, acting as an important mediator of immune responses and inflammation. Dysregulation of C4 has been implicated in various autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and inflammatory conditions, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions.

By utilizing the C4a/C4b Antibody (PACO02208), researchers can accurately detect and quantify C4 proteins in biological samples, enabling deeper insights into the role of complement activation in disease pathogenesis. This antibody is a valuable asset for investigations in immunology, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders, providing crucial information for the development of novel treatment strategies.

UniProt Protein Function:C4A: 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. Defects in C4A are the cause of complement component 4A deficiency (C4AD). A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with the development of autoimmune disorders, mainly systemic lupus with or without associated glomerulonephritis. Defects in C4A are a cause of susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A chronic, inflammatory and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue. It affects principally the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. Interindividual copy- number variation (CNV) of complement component C4 and associated polymorphisms result in different susceptibilities to SLE. The risk of SLE susceptibility has been shown to be significantly increased among subjects with only two copies of total C4. A high copy number is a protective factor against SLE.

NCBI Summary: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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
