Abstract excerpt
The formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is a chemotactic G protein-coupled receptor found on the surface of phagocytes. We have previously shown that the formyl peptide binding site maps to the membrane-spanning region (Miettinen, H. M., Mills, J. S., Gripentrog, J. M., Dratz, E. A., Granger, B. L., and Jesaitis, A. J. (1997) J. Immunol. 159, 4045-4054). Recent reports have indicated that non-formylated peptides, such...
