QuickView for formyl peptide receptors (compound)
| Name: | Receptors, Formyl Peptide |
|---|---|
| Description: | A family of G-protein-coupled receptors that was originally identified by its ability to bind N-formyl peptides such as N-FORMYLMETHIONINE LEUCYL-PHENYLALANINE. Since N-formyl peptides are found in MITOCHONDRIA and BACTERIA, this class of receptors is believed to play a role in mediating cellular responses to cellular damage and bacterial invasion. However, non-formylated peptide ligands have also been found for this receptor class. |
| Synonyms: |
FMLP Receptor; Chemotactic Peptide Receptor; Hexapeptide Receptor, N-formyl; Receptor, Chemotactic Peptide; Receptor, fMet-Leu-Phe; Peptide Receptor, N-Formylmethionyl; fMet Leu Phe Receptor; N-formyl Hexapeptide Receptor; Formyl Peptide Receptors; Chemoattractant Receptor.
