Description
Predicted to be involved in complement activation, classical pathway; cytolysis; and innate immune response. Predicted to localize to extracellular region and membrane attack complex. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type II complement component 8 deficiency. Orthologous to human C8B (complement C8 beta chain).
