complement receptor
This term is a specialized technical expression used primarily in immunology and molecular biology. It describes a specific protein interface where the innate immune system's complement proteins interact with cellular membranes to initiate processes like phagocytosis or chemotaxis.
In a clinical or research context, the term is typically used to discuss the mechanism of pathogen clearance or the regulation of inflammation. It is distinct from general cell receptors in that its ligands are specifically the fragmented or intact proteins of the complement cascade, such as C3b or C5a.
Ý nghĩa
A cell surface protein that binds to specific components of the complement system, triggering an immune response or regulating the complement cascade.
The activation of the complement receptor on macrophages facilitates the phagocytosis of opsonized pathogens.
Ví dụ
