Why is it possible for a FPR (formyl-peptide receptor) to detect a formyl peptide in the
absence of a bacterial infection?


Sagot :

Answer:

These receptors were originally identified by their ability to bind N-formyl peptides such as N-formylmethionine produced by the degradation of either bacterial or host cells. Hence formyl peptide receptors are involved in mediating immune cell response to infection.
