MeSH definition : A 93-kDa serum glycoprotein encoded by C7 gene. It is a polypeptide chain with 28
disulfide bridges. In the formation of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX; C7 is the next component
to bind the C5b-6 complex forming a trimolecular complex C5b-7 which is lipophilic,
resembles an integral membrane protein, and serves as an anchor for the late complement
components, C8 and C9.;
