'''Complement component 5''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''C5'' [[gene]].<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = C5 complement C5 (Homo sapiens (human)) Gene ID: 727 |date= 29 November 2020| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=727 |website=www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |access-date=9 December 2020}}</ref>
Complement component 5 is involved in the [[complement system]]. It is cleaved into [[Complement component 5a|C5a]] and C5b:
* [[Complement component 5a|C5a]] plays an important role in [[chemotaxis]].<ref>{{GeorgiaImmunology|1/phagocyt}}{{Deadlink|date=December 2020}}</ref>
* C5b forms the first part of the [[complement membrane attack complex]].

== Function ==
Complement component 5 is the fifth component of complement, which plays an important role in inflammatory and cell killing processes. This protein is composed of alpha and beta polypeptide chains that are linked by a disulfide bridge. An activation peptide, C5a, which is an [[anaphylatoxin]] that possesses potent [[spasm]]ogenic and [[chemotaxis|chemotactic]] activity, is derived from the alpha polypeptide via cleavage with a [[C5-convertase]]. The C5b macromolecular cleavage product can form a complex with the [[complement component 6|C6 complement component]], and this complex is the basis for formation of the membrane attack complex, which includes additional complement components.<ref name="entrez"/>
== Clinical significance ==
Mutations in this gene cause complement component 5 deficiency, a disease where patients show a propensity for severe recurrent infections. Defects in this gene have also been linked to a susceptibility to [[liver fibrosis]] and to [[rheumatoid arthritis]].<ref name="entrez"/>
== Therapeutic applications ==
The drug [[eculizumab]] (trade name '''Soliris''') prevents cleavage of C5 into C5a and C5b.<ref>{{cite journal | title=Eculizumab| vauthors=Dubois E, Cohen A| journal=Br J Clin Pharmacol| year=2009| volume=68| pages=318–319| pmc=2766470 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2125.2009.03491.x | issue=3 | pmid=19740388}}</ref>
