Gene:
formyl peptide receptor 1
Gene ID:
202256
Symbol:
FPR1
Species:
1000
Description:
High affinity receptor for N-formyl-methionyl peptides, which are powerful neutrophils chemotactic factors. Binding of FMLP to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.
