Function

Receptor for the chemotactic and inflammatory peptide anaphylatoxin C5a (PubMed:10636859, PubMed:15153520, PubMed:1847994, PubMed:29300009, PubMed:7622471, PubMed:8182049, PubMed:9553099). 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 (PubMed:7622471, PubMed:8182049, PubMed:9553099). Receptor activation stimulates chemotaxis, granule enzyme release, intracellular calcium release and superoxide anion production (PubMed:10636859, PubMed:15153520).

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 a small peptide agonist (PubMed:11342590). Sulfation at Tyr-14 is important for CHIPS binding (PubMed:21706042).

Phosphorylated on serine residues in response to C5a binding, resulting in internalization of the receptor and short-term desensitization to the ligand. The key residues involved in this process are Ser-334 and Ser-338.

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.
