NCIt definition : Complement C4-B (1744 aa, 193 kDa) is encoded by the human C4B and C4B_2 genes. This
protein is involved in the propagation of the classical complement pathway.;
NCIt note : Complement C4-A and Complement C4-B differ by 4 amino acids at positions 1101-1106;
C4A has the sequence PCPVLD, while C4B has the sequence LSPVIH. (OMIM); Complement C4-B is cleaved into the following 6 chains: complement C4 beta chain,
complement C4-B alpha chain, C4a anaphylatoxin, C4b-B, C4d-B, and complement C4 gamma
chain. (UniProt);
