General description
Complement C4 is mapped to human chromosome 6p21.33. It exists in two isoforms as c4A and c4B. C4 is a 200 kDa protein belonging to α2 macroglobulin (α2M) family. It undergoes posttranslational modification like sulfation and glycosylation and finally proteolysis to become a mature protein.
Application
Complement C4 from human serum has been used in mannose binding lectin (MBL) complex assay of serum samples and in MBL-associated serine proteases based C4 activation assay of plasma samples.
Biochem/physiol Actions
There are strong indications that complement C4 deficiency is correlated with induction of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases.
Complement C4 serves a primary role in the classical and lectin pathways of the complement system and provides protection against bacterial pathogens. C4 polymorphisms have been used in research to study their associations with the hemolytic and antibacterial ability of the classical pathway.
Variation in the copy number of the complement C4 gene alters the complement c4A and c4B levels in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and increases risk of developing schizophrenia.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in PBS, pH 7.2

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
