Biological function summary

FPRL1 enables the immune system to detect and respond to pathogenic threats effectively. As part of the immune surveillance mechanism FPRL1 aids in the migration and function of immune cells by activating intracellular second messenger systems including calcium mobilization and MAPK pathways. Though not part of a larger protein complex it interacts closely with other signaling molecules to amplify immune responses. The receptor also shows diverse ligand recognition possibly allowing it to participate in different immune processes.

Pathways

FPRL1 holds a position in both inflammatory and resolution pathways. Notably it participates in the chemokine signaling pathway working alongside other G-protein-coupled receptors to regulate leukocyte chemotaxis. FPRL1 further involves itself in the resolution of inflammation through interactions with specialized pro-resolving mediators like lipoxins. An example of this interaction occurs with the protein ALX/FPR2 with which FPRL1 shares functional similarities contributing to both swift inflammatory responses and their resolution.
