Figure 4: Formyl-peptide-evoked Ca 2+ signals in the intact vomeronasal epithelium. We then tested the response profiles of ligand-sensitive vomeronasal neurons. When fMLF, CRAMP and lipoxin A4 (0 ...

Background: The formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates chemotaxis of phagocytic leucocytes induced by bacterial and host-derived chemotactic peptides.

A drug that cleaves escaped proteins called N-formyl peptides appears to reduce resulting dangerous leakage from blood vessels and improve survival, report researchers at the Medical College of ...

Attaching a modified bacterial-derived formyl peptide chemoattractant to an antibiotic enhanced recruitment of neutrophils and improved their bactericidal ability in mouse models, according to a study ...

The researchers linked a chemoattractant known as formyl peptide to vancomycin, a commonly used antibiotic that binds to the surface of the bacteria, and performed their studies on golden staph ...

On the other hand, the protein formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) is known to play an important role in mediating inflammatory responses in multiple organs. However, no study so far has determined ...
