Komplement-Komponente C8, C-Kette
Das C8G-Gen kodiert die gamma Polypeptidkette des Complementfaktors 8. Dieser Faktor ist am membrane attack complex (MAC) beteiligt, welcher Poren in die Bakterienwände bestimmter Bakterien zu reißen und damit die Zerstörung herbeizuführen vermag. Erkrankungen sind bisher nicht mit Mutationen in diesem Gen in Zusammenhang gebracht worden.
