- Activation of C3 and C5, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Activation of C3 and C5, organism-specific biosystemThe 3 pathways of complement activation converge on the cleavage of C3 by C3 convertases. C3 convertase cleaves C3 into C3a and C3b - a central step of complement activation. C3a remains in the flu...
- Complement Activation, Classical Pathway, organism-specific biosystem (from WikiPathways)
Complement Activation, Classical Pathway, organism-specific biosystemThe complement system is a biochemical cascade that helps, or ???complements???, the ability of antibodies to clear pathogens from an organism. It is part of the immune system called the innate immun...
- Complement and coagulation cascades, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Complement and coagulation cascades, organism-specific biosystemThe complement system is a proteolytic cascade in blood plasma and a mediator of innate immunity, a nonspecific defense mechanism against pathogens. There are three pathways of complement activation:...

Complement and coagulation cascades, conserved biosystemThe complement system is a proteolytic cascade in blood plasma and a mediator of innate immunity, a nonspecific defense mechanism against pathogens. There are three pathways of complement activation:...
- Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystemThe complement system is a biochemical cascade, so named because it 'complements' the ability of antibodies to clear pathogens. It is part of the innate immune system. Complement system proteins circ...
- Immune System, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Immune System, organism-specific biosystemHumans are exposed to millions of potential pathogens daily, through contact, ingestion, and inhalation. Our ability to avoid infection depends on the adaptive immune system and during the first crit...
- Initial triggering of complement, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Initial triggering of complement, organism-specific biosystemComplement activation is due to a cascade of proteolytic steps, performed by serine protease domains in some of the components. Three different pathways of activation are distinguished triggered by t...

- Regulation of Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Regulation of Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystemTwo inherent features of complement activation make its regulation very important: 1. There is an inherent positive feedback loop because the product of C3 activation forms part of an enzyme that cau...
- SIDS Susceptibility Pathways, organism-specific biosystem (from WikiPathways)
SIDS Susceptibility Pathways, organism-specific biosystemIn this model, we provide an integrated view of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at the level of implicated tissues, signaling networks and genetics. The purpose of this model is to serve as an ov...
