Short description of the C8Bbase :

C8 is composed of three polypeptide chains (alfa, beta, and gamma), each encoded by distinct genes. The three C8 genes are expressed in hepatocytes. Two types of C8 deficiency exist, and both result in loss of total hemolytic complement activity. C8beta deficiency is more common in Caucasians and C8alfa-gamma deficiency is more common in African-Americans.
