Preparation and Storage
Background: FPRL1/FPR2
FPRL1 is a 7TM protein expressed on mononuclear phagocytes and microglial cells. It interacts with formyl peptides to attract phagocytes to sites of infection and promote inflammatory reactions. FPRL1 also interacts with amyloid beta peptides and has been implicated in phagocyte attraction to sites of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
