| Description : |
Mouse Hc is a 77-amino acid peptide generated during complement activation from the α-chain of complement C5. Mouse Hc shares 60% and 82% amino acid sequence identity to human and rat Hc, respectively. Hc binds to a signaling G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) (C5aR/CD88), inducing neutrophil chemotaxis and endothelial cell activation. It also triggers an oxidative burst in macrophages and neutrophils, and induces release of histamine in basophils and mast cells. |
