Abstract
We cloned a cDNA (RFP) encoding a receptor (RFP) related (70% overall nucleotide homology) to the formyl peptide receptor of human neutrophils (hFPR). RFP is a seven-transmembrane-domain receptor and its distribution is limited to myeloid cells. Domain sequence comparison with hFPR reveals highly conserved regions and provides clues to putative domains involved in ligand binding and receptor desensitization.
