Descriptor complemento C2
Scope note: Componente de la VÍA CLÁSICA DEL COMPLEMENTO. C2 es desdoblado por el COMPLEMENTO C1S activado a COMPLEMENTO C2B y COMPLEMENTO C2A. C2a, el fragmento COOH-terminal que contiene una SERINA PROTEASA, se combina con el COMPLEMENTO C4B para formar C4b2a (CONVERTASA C3 de la VÍA CLÁSICA) y posterior C4b2a3b (CONVERTASA C6 de la VÍA CLÁSICA).
