Protein function (UniProt)

Complement C3

Precursor of non-enzymatic components of the classical, alternative, lectin and GZMK complement pathways, which consist in a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system

Curated MONDO disease pages that list C3 among their top associated genes.
