Formyl Peptide Receptor-Like 1 Antagonist, WRW⁴

A Trp-rich hexapeptide that acts as a potent and specific antagonist of Formyl Peptide Receptor-Like 1 (FPRL1)-mediated signaling. Shown to bind to FPRL1 and interfere with the ligand-receptor interaction {IC₅₀ = 230 nM for FPRL1 Agonist, WKYMVm (Cat. No. 344216)}. Completely blocks the ligand activated [Ca²⁺]_i increase, ERK activation and chemotactic migration of FPRL1-expressing RBL-2H3 cells at 10 µM. Further, inhibits Aβ₄₂ peptide-induced superoxide generation and prevents its internalization in human macrophages.
