Enzyme Information

3.4.21.47
Alternative-complement-pathway C3/C5 convertase.
based on mapping to UniProt P00751
Cleavage of Arg-|-Ser bond in complement component C3 alpha-chain to yield C3a and C3b, and Arg-|-Xaa bond in complement component C5 alpha- chain to yield C5a and C5b.
-!- A bimolecular complex of complement fragment Bb with either C3b or cobra venom factor; Bb contains the active site. -!- Bb is formed by cleavage of proenzyme factor B by factor D. -!- Cleavage of complement component C5 requires additional C3b which binds C5 and renders it susceptible to cleavage by C3b,Bb complex. -!- C3b,Bb is stabilized in plasma by factor P. -!- Belongs to peptidase family S1.
