FPR2 (Formyl Peptide Receptor 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FPR2 include Prion Disease. Among its related pathways are Akt Signaling and Signaling by GPCR. GO annotations related to this gene include G-protein coupled receptor activity and N-formyl peptide receptor activity. An important paralog of this gene is FPR3. Low affinity receptor for 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).
