Formyl peptide receptors in the mucosal immune system [PDF]
AbstractFormyl peptide receptors (FPRs) belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and are well known as chemotactic receptors and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize bacterial and mitochondria-derived formylated peptides. FPRs are also known to detect a wide range of ligands, including host-derived peptides and lipids. FPRs

Formyl peptide receptor type 2 (FPR2/ALX) belongs to the formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) family clustered on chromosome 19 and encodes a family of three Class A of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Promiscuous Receptors and Neuroinflammation: The Formyl Peptide Class
Formyl peptide receptors, abbreviated as FPRs in humans, are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) mainly found in mammalian leukocytes. However, they are also expressed in cell types crucial for homeostatic brain regulation, including microglia and blood–brain barrier endothelial cells. Thus, the roles of these immune-associated receptors are extensive,

Formyl peptide receptor 2 and heart disease
Formyl peptide receptor type 2 (FPR2) regulates the initiation and resolution phases of the inflammatory response. In the setting of heart injury and disease, dysregulated inflammation can potentiate maladaptive healing and pathological remodeling of the heart leading to cardiac dysfunction and failure.

CYCLOSPORIN H: A NOVEL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY THERAPY FOR INFLUENZA FLU PATIENTS [PDF]
Relatively little is known about the inflammatory mediators and mechanisms that drive the progression of influenza flu infection to cytokine storm, lung dysfunction, organ failure, and ultimately death.

Background Recent studies suggest that the chemotactic G-protein-coupled-receptor (GPCR) formyl-peptide-receptor-like-1 (FPRL1) and the receptor-for-advanced-glycation-end-products (RAGE) play an important role in the inflammatory response involved in ...

Prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) higher in men than premenopausal women. Here the authors report that formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) levels are regulated by estrogen, and that FPR2 ...
