Complement C3 recognition by C3 convertases. [PDF]
Sci AdvAbstract The complement system plays a fundamental role in human immunity, and its dysregulation is implicated in numerous diseases. Activation of the complement occurs through three main pathways: classical, lectin, and alternative; which converge at the central component, C3.

Immunological Reviews, 2022 SummaryC3 is the central effector molecule of the complement system, mediating its multiple functions through different binding sites and their corresponding receptors. We will introduce the C3 forms (native C3, C3 [H2O], and intracellular C3), the C3 fragments C3a, C3b, iC3b, and C3dg/C3d, and the C3 expression sites.
