Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Receptor for the chemotactic and inflammatory peptide anaphylatoxin C3a, stimulating chemotaxis, granule enzyme release and superoxide anion production (PubMed:12871936, PubMed:37852260, PubMed:8702752). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (PubMed:37852260). C3AR1 is coupled to G(i)/G(o) (GNAI1 or GNAO1) G alpha proteins and mediates inhibition of adenylate cyclase (PubMed:37852260).SUBUNIT Interacts with VGF-derived peptide TLQP-21 (By similarity). Interacts (when phosphorylated) with ARRB1; the interaction is associated with internalization of the receptor and short-term desensitization to the ligand (PubMed:38175886).INTERACTION Widely expressed in several differentiated hematopoietic cell lines, in the lung, spleen, ovary, placenta, small intestine, throughout the brain, heart, and endothelial cells (PubMed:8605247, PubMed:8765043, Ref.3). Mostly expressed in lymphoid tissues (PubMed:8605247, PubMed:8765043, Ref.3).PTM Phosphorylation of the C-terminus by GRK2 or GRK3 promotes association with beta-arrestin (ARRB1), leading to receptor desensitization and negative regulation of G-protein coupled receptor signaling.PTM Among the sulfation sites Tyr-174 is essential for binding of C3a anaphylatoxin.PTM O-glycosylated.SIMILARITY Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
