Mapping the Ligand-Binding Site on the C5a Receptor:  Arginine74 of C5a Contacts Aspartate282 of the C5a Receptor

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2001
The interaction between the anaphylatoxin C5a and its receptor involves two distinct sites. One site is formed by acidic residues at the receptor N-terminus and contributes to only ligand binding. The second site, responsible for activation, is less well defined.

Inhibiting the C5–C5a receptor axis

open access: yesMolecular Immunology, 2011
Activation of the complement system is a major pathogenic event that drives various inflammatory responses in numerous diseases. All pathways of complement activation lead to cleavage of the C5 molecule generating the anaphylatoxin C5a and, C5b that subsequently forms the terminal complement complex (C5b-9).

Development of C5a receptor antagonists.

open access: yesIDrugs : the investigational drugs journal, 1999
During host defense, the human complement system of plasma proteins initiates inflammatory and cellular immune responses to stimuli such as infectious organisms, chemical and physical injury, radiation and neoplasia. Elevated levels of one of these plasma proteins C5a, a 74 amino acid peptidic anaphylatoxin which is one of the most potent pro ...

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.
