Function

Receptor for the chemotactic and inflammatory peptide anaphylatoxin C5a. The ligand interacts with at least two sites on the receptor: a high-affinity site on the extracellular N-terminus, and a second site in the transmembrane region which activates downstream signaling events. Receptor activation stimulates chemotaxis, granule enzyme release, intracellular calcium release and superoxide anion production.

Post-translational modifications

Sulfation plays a critical role in the association of C5aR with C5a, but no significant role in the ability of the receptor to transduce a signal and mobilize calcium in response to a small peptide agonist.

Phosphorylated on serine residues in response to C5a binding, resulting in internalization of the receptor and short-term desensitization to C5a.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Cytoplasmic vesicle
  • Phosphorylated C5aR colocalizes with ARRB1 and ARRB2 in cytoplasmic vesicles.
