C3aR binds to anaphylotoxin C3a which, among other things, is involved in mast cell degranulation and recruitment of immune cells to the site of inflammation. Activation of the complement cascade produces various fragments, including C3a and C5a. C3aR is characterized by seven transmembrane domains including a large extracellular loop which is coupled to a Gi protein. C3aR expression is detected on glial cells, neurons and cells belonging to the mononuclear phagocyte system. C3aR expression was shown to moderately increase after LPS stimulation.Synonyms: AZ3B, C3AR, C3AR1, C3R1, C3a anaphylatoxin chemotactic receptor, C3a-R, HNFAG09
