Description
SpecificityThis antibody recognizes human FPR1 at aa 305-GQDFRERLI-313 at the amino-terminal portion of the carboxyl-terminal tail. It also recognizes the same epitope in FPR2.
BackgroundFormyl peptide receptors (FPR) are G protein-coupled receptors that are activated by different agonists included N- formylated peptides originating from bacteria and mitochondria. In humans, the FPR family includes the high affinity FPR1, the low affinity FPR2/ALX (previously known as FPRL1 or ALX) and FPR3. Human FPR1 is important for phagocyte chemotaxis, superoxide production, and degranulation, and helps direct phagocytes to sites of infection. Functional FPR1expression has been demonstrated on fibroblasts, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, A549 lung cells, HEP-G2 hepatoma cells, and on several types of epithelial cells.
FunctionHigh affinity receptor for N-formyl-methionyl peptides (fMLP), which are powerful 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, PubMed:15210802). This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium sPubMed:10514456, PubMed:15153520, PubMed:2161213, PubMed:2176894, PubMed:25109685, PubMed:10514456, PubMed:1712023, PubMed:2161213, PubMed:2176894}.
