Cell-Specific Transcriptional Regulation of Human Leukotriene B4 Receptor Gene
7 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is a lipid mediator that activates leukocytes and is involved in host defense and inflammation. BLT1, a high-affinity receptor for LTB(4) (originally termed BLT), is expressed exclusively in inflammatory cells and is inducible in macrophages upon activation. The mechanisms of tissue-specific expression and induction of BLT1 are important for the understanding of mechanism of onset and...
