C3ar1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity; complement component C3a binding activity; and complement receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of angiogenesis; positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production; and regulation of granulocyte chemotaxis. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bladder; blood; cerebral cortex; gut; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human C3AR1 (complement C3a receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse C3ar1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
