Extra Details:: Human Complement component 3, C3 (alternative names include acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) C3 is encoded by gene located 19p13.3-p13.2. Because C3, C4, and C5 are strikingly similar suggesting a common evolutionary origin. C3 is an acute phase reactant. Synthesis of C3, a glycoprotein, is induced during acute inflammation. The liver is the main site of synthesis, although small amounts are also produced by activated monocytes and macrophages. A single chain precursor (pro-C3) of approximately 200 kD is found intracellularly; the cDNA shows that it comprises 1,663aa. This is processed by proteolytic cleavage into alpha (~115kD) and beta subunits (~75kD) which in the mature protein are linked by disulfide bonds. Pro-C3 contains a signal peptide of 22aa residues, the beta chain (645 residues) and the alpha chain (992 residues). The 2 chains are joined by 4 arginine residues that are not present in the mature protein. Human C3 has 79% identity to mouse C3 at the nucleotide level and 77% at the aa level. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other potential application, though not tested is Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:10,000-50,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
