Partial ligand-receptor engagement yields functional bias at the human complement receptor, C5aR1
2019-01-09
Abstract excerpt
The human complement component, C5a, binds two different seven transmembrane receptors termed as C5aR1 and C5aR2. C5aR1 is a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor that couples to Gαi sub-family of heterotrimeric G proteins and β-arrestins (βarr) following C5a stimulation. Peptide fragments derived from the carboxyl-terminus of C5a can still interact with the receptor, albeit with lower affinity, and can act as a...
