The formyl peptide receptors are a members of a class of G protein-coupled receptors involved in chemotaxis.[1] These receptors where originally identified by their ability to bind N-formyl peptides such as N-formylmethionine produced by the degradation of either bacterial or host cells.[2][3] Hence formyl peptide receptors are involved in mediating immune cell response to infection. These receptors may also act to suppress the immune system under certain conditions.[4]
