The Complement C3a and C3a Receptor Pathway in Kidney Diseases
18 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of some kidney diseases is closely associated with complement activation, where the C3a/C3a receptor (C3aR) might play a crucial role. C3a/C3aR has dual roles and may exert anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory effects depending on different cell types and diseases. In the kidneys, C3aR is primarily expressed on the tubular epithelium and less in glomerular podocytes. C3aR expression is enhanced...
