Abstract

Complement peptide receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR subcommittee on Complement peptide receptors [113]) are activated by the endogenous ~75 amino-acid anaphylatoxin polypeptides C3a and C5a, generated upon stimulation of the complement cascade. C3a and C5a exert their functions through binding to their receptors (C3a receptor, C5a receptor 1 and C5a receptor 2), causing cell recruitment and triggering cellular degranulation that contributes to local inflammation.
