The complement system is a biochemical cascade which helps clear pathogens from an organism. It is one part of the larger immune system.
The complement system consists of a number of small proteins found in the blood, which work together to kill target cells by disrupting the target cell's plasma membrane. Over 20 proteins and protein fragments make up the complement system, including serum proteins, serosal proteins, and cell membrane receptors. These proteins are synthesized mainly in the liver, and they account for about 5% of the globulin fraction of blood serum.
