Background: Complement is defined as key part of innate immunity and as the first line of defense in the fight against invading pathogens. Complement 3 (C3) is the most abundant component of the complement cascade and the convergent point for all three major complement activation pathways: namely classical, alternative and mannose-binding lectin pathways. Complement activation leads to the formation of the C3 convertase, which cleaves C3 into the key effector molecules, C3a (anaphylatoxin) and C3b (opsonin) which then drive microbe removal. By binding to C3a receptor (C3aR) , C3a exhibits potent anaphylatoxin activity, including increased vascular permeability, triggering degranulation of mast cells, inflammation, and activating leukocytes.

Description: Recombinant Human Complement Component C3a is produced by our E. coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ser672-Arg748 is expressed.

Alternate Names: Complement Component C3a, C3a, Anaphylatoxin

Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 

Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Molecular Weight: 9.1 KDa

Observed Molecular Weight: 13 KDa, reducing conditions

Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
