C3P1


Description

The C3P1 (complement component 3 precursor pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.

The C3P1 gene encodes a protein that is a crucial component of the complement system, a key part of the innate immune system. This system plays a vital role in identifying and eliminating pathogens like bacteria and viruses. The C3P1 protein is involved in the activation of the complement pathway, which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), ultimately causing the destruction of pathogens.

The C3P1 gene, also known as Complement Component 3, is involved in the complement system, a critical part of the innate immune system. This system helps identify and eliminate pathogens like bacteria and viruses. C3P1 plays a key role in the activation of the complement pathway, ultimately leading to the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that disrupts the pathogen's cell membrane, resulting in its destruction.

C3P1 is also known as CPLP.
