Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 732
Gene name Complement C8 beta chain
Gene symbol C8B
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C82
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p32.2
Summary This gene encodes one of the three subunits of the complement component 8 (C8) protein. C8 is composed of equimolar amounts of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, which are encoded by three separate genes. C8 is one component of the membrane attack complex, w
