CC4 is a mixture of CC4-A and CC4-B. CC4 is part of the complement cascade which results in pathogen cell membrane pore and the eventual lysis of the pathogen cell. Disease C4 deficiency causes lupus-like autoimmunity. Copy number variations of complement C4 are associated with Behcet's disease. Level of complement C4 is associated with persistence and disease progression of chronic hepatitis C.
