Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 733
Gene name Complement C8 gamma chain
Gene symbol C8G
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C8C
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q34.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lipocalin family. It is one of the three subunits that constitutes complement component 8 (C8), which is composed of a disulfide-linked C8 alpha-gamma heterodimer and a non-covalently associated C8 beta chai
