fMet-Leu-Phe receptor (FPR1)

High affinity receptor for N-formyl-methionyl peptides (fMLP), which are strong neutrophil chemotactic factors (PubMed:2161213, PubMed:2176894, PubMed:10514456, PubMed:15153520). Binding of fMLP to the receptor stimulates intracellular calcium mobilization and superoxide anion release (PubMed:2161213, PubMed:1712023, PubMed:15153520).

This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system (PubMed:1712023, PubMed:10514456). .
