Therapeutic Target Details

Target ID: T40
Target Name: N-formyl peptide receptor 2
Synonyms: Formyl peptide receptor; FMLP-related receptor I, FMLP-R-I; Formyl peptide receptor-like 1; HM63; Lipoxin A4 receptor, LXA4 receptor; RFP
GENE: FPR2
Action: inhibitor
Class: Enzyme
UniProtKB ID:P25090
Entry Name: FPR2_HUMAN
Related Drugs: None
Mechanism: FPR2 has anti-inflammatory roles in the liver and that its sex-specific expression is closely related to sex disparities in NAFLD/NASH development. Higher expression of FPR2 in female mice than in male mice makes females more resistant to NAFLD development and progression, and severe injury in FPR2-depleted female mice supports the protective effect of FPR2 in the livers of female mice. Estrogen directly regulates FPR2 expression, which is related to estrogen-mediated protection against NAFLD.
