crucial immune protein aiding pathogen destruction and inflammation
Complement Component 3 (C3) is a crucial protein in the immune system's complement pathway, which helps the body fight infections and clear damaged cells. It plays a central role in activating the complement system, leading to the destruction of pathogens and the promotion of inflammation.
