Tissue Specificity | Neutrophils. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated.which is necessary for desensitization. |
Function | High affinity receptor for N-formyl-methionyl peptides (fMLP), which are powerful neutrophil chemotactic factors. Binding of fMLP to the receptor stimulates intracellular calcium mobilization and superoxide anion release. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Receptor for TAFA4, mediates its effects on chemoattracting macrophages, promoting phagocytosis and increasing ROS release. Receptor for cathepsin CTSG, leading to increased phagocyte chemotaxis. |
