    GlossaryComplement Component 3

    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. Deficiencies or malfunctions in C3 can lead to increased susceptibility to infections and autoimmune diseases.
