Scope note: Autoanticuerpo IgG contra la CONVERTASA C3 de la VÍA ALTERNATIVA DEL COMPLEMENTO (C3bBb), que se enuentra en el suero de pacientes con GLOMERULONEFRITIS MESANGIOCAPILAR. La unión de este autoanticuerpo a C3bBb estabiliza la enzima y reduce así las acciones de los inactivadores de C3b (FACTOR H DEL COMPLEMENTO; FACTOR I DEL COMPLEMENTO). Esta enzima anormalmente estabilizada induce una ACTIVACIÓN DEL COMPLEMENTO continua y la degeneración de C3b, promoviendo así el ensambaje del COMPLEJO DE ATAQUE A LA MEMBRANA y la citólisis.

Scope note: An IgG autoantibody against the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE, found in serum of patients with MESANGIOCAPILLARY GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. The binding of this autoantibody to C3bBb stabilizes the enzyme thus reduces the actions of C3b inactivators (COMPLEMENT FACTOR H; COMPLEMENT FACTOR I). This abnormally stabilized enzyme induces a continuous COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION and generation of C3b thereby promoting the assembly of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX and cytolysis.
