GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
C5AR2 (HGNC Symbol)

C5L2, GPR77
Description
Complement component 5a receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor 1 family member involved in the complement system of the innate immune response. Unlike classical G-protein coupled receptors, the encoded protein does not associate with intracellular G-proteins. It may instead modulate signal transduction through the beta-arrestin pathway, and may alternatively act as a decoy receptor. This gene may be involved in coronary artery disease and in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
