ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.21.47

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.4.21.47
Accepted Name
alternative-complement-pathway C3/C5 convertase
Alternative Name(s)
C3 convertase
C3 proactivator
C5 convertase
complement component C3/C5 convertase (alternative)
complement factor B
properdin factor B
Reaction catalysed
Cleavage of Arg-|-Ser bond in complement component C3 alpha-chain to yield C3a and C3b, and Arg-|-Xaa bond in complement component C5 alpha-chain to yield C5a and C5b
Comment(s)
  • A bimolecular complex of complement fragment Bb with either C3b or cobra venom factor; Bb contains the active site.
  • Bb is formed by cleavage of proenzyme factor B by factor D.
  • Cleavage of complement component C5 requires additional C3b which binds C5 and renders it susceptible to cleavage by C3b,Bb complex.
  • C3b,Bb is stabilized in plasma by factor P.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1.
