Abstract excerpt
C5a is a potent chemoattractant for monocytes, neutrophils and other leukocytes. The receptor for human C5a is a member of the rhodopsin superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors and contains an aspartate residue (Asp82) within the putative second transmembrane domain conserved in all other G protein-linked receptors. We investigated the role of this residue and also the carboxy-terminal 23 residues of the C5a...
