Background

Complement C6 protein is part of the complement system and is a key component of the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC), which acts by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells in both natural and adaptive immune responses. The C6 protein plays a cytolytic role in the complement pathway and is involved in the immune response and cytolysis process. Together with other components of the complement cascade, it labels and removes pathogens and damaged cells. C6 proteins have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including meningitis and brucellosis. C6 complement deficiency prevents the development of diet-induced atherosclerosis. Drug development for C6 is currently underway.
