Full name: complement C9

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ARMD15; C9D

Summary: This gene encodes the final component of the complement system. It participates in the formation of the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). The MAC assembles on bacterial membranes to form a pore, permitting disruption of bacterial membrane organization. Mutations in this gene cause component C9 deficiency.
