C5a anaphylatoxin chemotactic receptor C5L2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR77 gene.[1][2]

The anaphylatoxins C3a, C4a, and C5a are cationic fragments generated during the complement cascade that participate in host defense. In the case of inappropriate complement activation, anaphylatoxins may be involved in autoimmunity and sepsis. C5L2 is coexpressed with the C5a receptor, C5AR (C5R1; MIM 113995), on polymorphonuclear neutrophils and may modulate C5AR activity (Gerard et al., 2005).[supplied by OMIM][2]
