C5a is a protein fragment released from cleavage complement component C5 by protease C5-convertase into C5a and C5b fragments. C5b is important in late events of complement cascade, whereas C5a acts as highly inflammatory peptide. The origin of C5 is in the hepatocyte but its synthesis can also be found in macrophages that may cause local increase of C5a. C5a has chemotactic and anaphylatoxic properties, it is essential in the innate immunity but it is also linked with the adaptive immunity. The increase production of C5a is connected with a number of inflammatory diseases.
