C5a R1, is a 7TM protein expressed on myeloid, endothelial, epithelial, and smooth muscle cells. C5a R1 binds the activated complement anaphylatoxin C5a. In established allergic environments, this triggers neutrophil and eosinophil chemotaxis and the release of proinflammatory mediators. In contrast, C5a R1/C5a interactions are protective during allergen sensitization. Mouse C5a R1 shares 66-77aa sequence identity with human and rat C5a R, respectively.
