Anaphylatoxins, or complement peptides, are fragments (C3a, C4a and C5a) that are produced as part of the activation of the complement system. (wikipedia.org)
upon activation, the complement results in the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) which releases peptides called anaphylatoxins. (apollodiagnostics.in)
Receptor3
Anaphylatoxins indirectly mediate: smooth muscle cells contraction, for example bronchospasms increase in the permeability of blood capillaries C5a indirectly mediates chemotaxis-receptor-mediated movement of leukocytes in the direction of the increasing concentration of anaphylatoxins Important anaphylatoxins: C5a has the highest specific biological activity and is able to act directly on neutrophils and monocytes to speed up the phagocytosis of pathogens. (wikipedia.org)
Further preliminary work indicates that also other processes contributing to tissue remodelling such as apoptosis can be tailored by platelets, e.g. via mebrane expressed death receptor Fas-L. Furthermore, platelet derived receptors of innate immunity including anaphylatoxin receptors (C5aR) may modulate angiogenesis, but also platelet function. (uni-luebeck.de)
