Definition
English
:
A
family
of G-protein-coupled receptors that was originally identified by its ability to bind N-formyl
peptides
such as
N-FORMYLMETHIONINE LEUCYL-PHENYLALANINE
. Since N-formyl
peptides
are found in
MITOCHONDRIA
and
BACTERIA
, this class of receptors is believed to play a
role
in mediating cellular responses to cellular damage and bacterial invasion. However, non-formylated peptide
ligands
have also been found for this receptor class.
