C3a/C3a desArg Complement (K13/16) Antibody

Complement C3a is an anaphylatoxin of 77 amino acid residues released by the action of the C3 convertases on the N-terminal of the alpha chain of C3. It is rapidly inactivated by serum carboxypeptidase N which removes the C-terminal arginine residue generating C3a (desArg). This antibody recognizes an epitope that is present on human C3, C3a and C3a (desArg) and does not react with C4a or C5a.
