It acts as a potent inducer of leucocyte chemotaxis and macrophage activator as well as a ligand for the FPR receptor. It is functionally related to a L-leucine, a N-formyl-L-methionine and a L-phenylalanine. It is a conjugate acid of a N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalaninate.

UsesN-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe has been used for:creating gradients in Zigmond chamber chemotaxis assay performed on neutrophilsuse in neutrophil chemotaix assay anddetermination of the involvement of MAPK-activating protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2) and/or p38, in the signaling pathway of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) stimulated by N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe.
General DescriptionN-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe is a chemotactin peptide, which functions on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), neutrophils etc.
