Preferred Label : receptors, formyl peptide;
MeSH definition : A family of G-protein-coupled receptors that was originally identified by its ability
to bind N-formyl peptides such as N-FORMYLMETHIONINE LEUCYL-PHENYLALANINE. Since N-formyl
peptides are found in MITOCHONDRIA and BACTERIA, this class of receptors is believed
to play a role in mediating cellular responses to cellular damage and bacterial invasion.
However, non-formylated peptide ligands have also been found for this receptor class.;
