C5a anaphylatoxin chemotactic receptor 2

The C5AR2 gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that binds activated complement components such as C3a, C4a, and C5a. Therefor an involvement in immunological procesis is obvious. Moreover genetic variations have been associated with familial combined hyperlipidemia.
