retinol binding
Processes
complement activation, alternative pathway / complement activation, classical pathway / cytolysis / innate immune response / regulation of complement activation
Components
blood microparticle / extracellular exosome / extracellular region / membrane attack complex
General Function
Retinol binding
Specific Function
C8 is a constituent of the membrane attack complex. C8 binds to the C5B-7 complex, forming the C5B-8 complex. C5-B8 binds C9 and acts as a catalyst in the polymerization of C9. The gamma subunit seems to be able to bind retinol.
