N-formyl peptide receptor 2

Pattern recognition G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that recognizes peptides with N-terminal formyl methionine, which are derived from invading pathogens or host mitochondria as pathogen or damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs)1374236,25605714,35217703. Preferentially recognizes longer peptides or peptides with specific sequences such as the phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) family of formylated peptide toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus30098280. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via G(i)/GNAI1 inhibiting adenylate cyclase activity, leading to decreased intracellular cAMP levels40080544. In addition, can recognize a variety of chemically distinct endogenous ligands including proteins and lipids besides formylpeptides and thereby plays multiple roles in inflammation. Acts as a receptor for the chemokine-like protein FAM19A5, mediating FAM19A5-stimulated macrophage chemotaxis and the inhibitory effect on TNFSF11/RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Acts also as a ceramide membrane receptor, and long-chain ceramides (C14 to C20) binding induces conformational changes that inhibits diet-induced adipose thermogenesis40080544. Participates in neuroprotection via interaction with humanin/MT-RNR2 and Amyloid-beta protein 42, product of APP11689470,35365641. Differential signaling is also defined by receptor oligomerization state. Binding of ANXA1 to FPR2 homodimer elicits activation of p38 MAPKinase pathway leading to HSPB1/HSP27 phosphorylation and IL10 production in monocytes. Whereas agonistic activation of FPR1:FPR2 heterodimers signals a proapoptotic JNK pathway in neutrophils

What it acts with

STRING’s highest-confidence human functional partners. The combined score mixes several kinds of evidence, so each channel is shown separately — a partner supported by experiment is a different claim from one supported only by text mining, and for a receptor this is where its coupling appears as evidence rather than as assertion.

Expression by tissue

The tissues this gene is enriched in, by consensus RNA. A tissue absent from this list is one the Atlas does not call specific for this gene, which is not the same as absent from it.
