Leukotriene B4 receptor 2

UniProt Q9NPC1 Organism Homo sapiens Gene BLT2R, BLTR2, LTB4R2

Also known as: BLT2R, BLTR2, LTB4R2

Function

Low-affinity receptor for leukotrienes including leukotriene B4. Mediates chemotaxis of granulocytes and macrophages. The response is mediated via G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinities for the leukotrienes is LTB4 > 12-epi-LTB4 > LTB5 > LTB3.
