Abstract

The genes encoding receptors for the chemotactic ligands C5a (C5AR) and FMLP (FPR) were mapped using a panel of somatic cell hybrids to chromosome 19. Because the hybridization pattern on Southern analysis suggested an intron structure or related genes in the case of FPR, genomic clones were characterized. Two structural homologues of the FMLP receptor, clones 81 (FPRH1) and 82 (FPRH2), were identified, which similarly map to chromosome 19. The structural homologues do not recognize the ligand FMLP, but are likely chemotactic receptors.

    Citation Excerpt :

    ALX is expressed in a variety of cells [11]. Lipoxin A4 plays a crucial role in many biological functions especially in inflammatory process and has been regarded as the key endogenous “stop signal” for inflammation [12–15]. Endogenous lipoxins are unstable because they degrade rapidly [16].

    There are 3 family members in humans, FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3, with FPR1 the best characterized. FPR1 and FPR2 share significant sequence homology, particularly for the cytoplasmic signaling domains.174,175. Both FPR1 and FPR2 bind n-FP, although with different binding specificity as FPR1 and FPR2 preferentially bind shorter and longer peptides, respectively.176,177
