Zinc-induced Self-association of Complement C3b and Factor H: IMPLICATIONS FOR INFLAMMATION AND AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION
The sub-retinal pigment epithelial deposits that are a hallmark of age-related macular degeneration contain both C3b and millimolar levels of zinc. C3 is the central protein of complement, whereas C3u is formed by the spontaneous hydrolysis of the thioester bridge in C3. During activation, C3 is cle...
