UniProt functional annotation for Q16581

UniProt code: Q16581.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Receptor for the chemotactic and inflammatory peptide anaphylatoxin C3a. This receptor stimulates chemotaxis, granule enzyme release and superoxide anion production.
 
Subunit: Interacts with VGF-derived peptide TLQP-21 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O09047}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed in several differentiated hematopoietic cell lines, in the lung, spleen, ovary, placenta, small intestine, throughout the brain, heart, and endothelial cells. Mostly expressed in lymphoid tissues.
Ptm: Among the sulfation sites Tyr-174 is essential for binding of C3a anaphylatoxin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12871936}.
Ptm: O-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23234360}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
