C5

Complement component 5 (C5) is part of the complement system and the body’s innate immune system. The complement system is important for controlling inflammation, homeostasis, and defending the body against foreign pathogens. C5 is cleaved into C5a and C5b by C5 convertase. C5a increases blood vessel permeability and attracts inflammatory cells, while C5b binds with other complement components to form a membrane attack complex (MAC) that kills the pathogen.1
