Anti-C5a-R/C5ar1 Antibody Picoband®

The C5a receptor also known as complement component 5a receptor 1 (C5AR1) or CD88 (Cluster of Differentiation 88) is a G protein-coupled receptor for C5a. It functions as a complement receptor. C5a receptor modulates inflammatory responses, obesity, development and cancers.

C-C chemokine receptor type 1; C-C CKR-1; CC-CKR-1; CCR-1; CCR1; Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha receptor; MIP-1alpha-R; RANTES-R; CD191; Ccr1; Cmkbr1

Receptor for a C-C type chemokine. Binds to MIP-1-alpha, RANTES, and less efficiently, to MIP-1-beta or MCP-1 and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. Responsible for affecting stem cell proliferation.
