A 180,000-dalton single-chain molecule (human pro-C3) is the precursor of the third component of human complement (C3), a disulfide-linked two-chain protein. The pro-C3 is converted by limited proteolysis to C3. The relationship between pro-C3 and C3 was established with the use of Hep G2, a cell line derived from a human hepatocellular carcinoma, which synthesizes at least 17 plasma proteins.
一种180,000道尔顿的单链分子(人C3前体)是人类补体第三成分(C3)的前体,C3是一种通过二硫键连接的双链蛋白质。C3前体通过有限的蛋白水解作用转化为C3。利用Hep G2(一种源自人肝细胞癌的细胞系,可合成至少17种血浆蛋白)确定了C3前体与C3之间的关系。
