Complement component 5a (C5a)

International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 2009
The 74 amino acid glycoprotein, complement component 5a (C5a), is a potent pro-inflammatory mediator cleaved enzymatically from its precursor, C5, upon activation of the complement cascade. C5a is quickly metabolised by carboxypeptidases, forming the less potent C5adesArg. Acting via a classical G protein-coupled receptor, CD88, C5a and C5adesArg exert

Human C5a and C5a analogs as probes of the neutrophil C5a receptor

Molecular Immunology, 1980
Abstract Quantitative assessment of the human neutrophil chemotactic response and immunologic evidence demonstrate that human C5a and/or its physiological equivalent, C5a des Arg' serves as the predominant chemotactic factor in complement activated serum.

Tc-99m-labeled C5a and C5a des Arg74 for infection imaging

Nuclear Medicine and Biology, 2003
The complement anaphylatoxin C5a and its natural metabolite C5a des Arg(74) (C5adR) are involved in several stages of the inflammatory process. Both act on a common receptor expressed on different cell types, including neutrophils and monocytes. The receptor binding affinity of C5a is in the nanomolar range and exceeds that of C5adR by 1-2 orders of ...

A selection system to study C5a–C5a-receptor interactions: Phage display of a novel C5a anaphylatoxin, Fos-C5aAla27

Gene, 1997
Binding and effector domains of the human anaphylatoxin C5a have been determined by either site directed mutagenesis or synthetic peptide studies. However, the lack of specific selection methods, which allow direct investigation of C5a-C5a-receptor interaction made these studies laborious.

Anaphylatoxins: C3a and C5a

1978
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structural and functional characterization of anaphylatoxins, spasmogenic substances released during complement activation. These low molecular weight peptide fragments of C3 and C5 elicit a variety of cellular responses, which implies that they play a significant role in inflammation and acute allergic ...
