FPRL1 is a low affinity receptor to N-formyl-methionyl peptides, which are powerful neutrophils chemotactic factors. Binding of FMLP to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The activation of LXA4R could result in an anti-inflammatory outcome counteracting the actions of proinflammatory signals such as LTB4 (leukotriene B4). FPRL1 has been reported in phagocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, differentiated myeloid cells from bone marrow, granulocyte HL-60 cells, and synovial fibroblasts. ESTs have been isolated from blood, leukocyte, lung, and placenta libraries.
