Biological Activity
WKYMVM is a peptide agonist of formyl peptide receptors. WKYMVM binds to and stimulates FPRL family members 1, 2 with EC50 values of 2 and 80 nM, respectively. The peptide is a potent activator of neutrophils.', 'WKYMVM is an agonist and potent activator of Formyl peptide receptor like-1 (FPRL1). WKYMVM stimulates FPRL1 and hence attenuates the function of the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4. WKYMVM activates human eosinophils to induce superoxide production through Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase-Mediated ERK1/2 pathway.
