Background
|
Low 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. The activation of LXA4R could result in an anti-inflammatory outcome counteracting the actions of proinflammatory signals such as LTB4
Synonyms: ALXR, HM63, FMLPX, FPR2A, FPRH1, FPRH2, FPRL1, LXA4R, FMLP-R-II
