Application
Complement C9 from human serum is an essential part of the terminal complement system. It has been a topic in cancer research, where extracellular phosphorylation by ecto-PK of K562 cells on serine residues may serve as a protective mechanism against complement in tumor cells. Additionally, it can be used as a biomarker (in fucosylated form) for squamous cell lung cancer, as patients tend to show elevated levels of C9 protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Complement component C9 is the final component of the membrane attack complex (MAC) responsible for cell lysis by complement. CD59 binds to both C8 and C9 and prevents assembly of an active MAC, protecting cells against lytic activity.
Quality
Functionally pure by a sensitive hemolytic assay using deficient sera.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2.

Ecto-protein kinases (ecto-PK), primarily of the serine/threonine kinase type, have been previously described on the surface of various normal, transformed, and tumor cells. We have found that in the presence of ATP and Mg2+, exogenously added substrates such as phosvitin

CD59 is a membrane glycoprotein that regulates formation of the cytolytic membrane attack complex (MAC or C5b-9) on host cell membranes. It functions by binding to C8 (alpha chain) and C9 after their structural rearrangement during MAC assembly. Previous studies
