Definitions
anaphylotoxin
NounUK
/ˌænəfɪləʊˈtɒksɪn/
US
/ˌænəfɪˈlɑːtɑksɪn/
Any peptide fragment generated during activation of the complement system (especially C3a, C4a, and C5a) that can trigger degranulation of mast cells and basophils and thereby provoke an anaphylactic reaction.
Complement activation releases anaphylotoxin C5a, which rapidly increases vascular permeability.
More generally, a substance produced in the body during an immune response that can cause anaphylaxis, a severe systemic allergic reaction.
The release of anaphylotoxin during the immune response can lead to swelling and difficulty breathing.
