High impact information on C8G

  • C8A and C8B are closely linked on chromosome 1p, whereas C8G is located on chromosome 9q [1].
  • The relative potencies and time courses of block by the agents (pancuronium [PC], octylguanidinium [C8G], QX-314, and 9-aminoacridine [9-AA]) were compared in different intracellular ionic solutions; specifically, the influences of internal Cs, tetramethylammonium (TMA), and Na ions on block were examined [2].
  • The human complement C8G gene, a member of the lipocalin gene family: polymorphisms and mapping to chromosome 9q34.3 [3].
 

Associations of C8G with chemical compounds

  • Complement component C8 is a plasma glycoprotein consisting of three nonidentical polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) which are encoded by three separate genes (C8A, C8B, C8G) [3].
