N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe is an endogenous chemotactic peptide for polymorphonuclear leukocyte and may act to stimulate aggregation of leukocytes. N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe induces superoxide release from neutrophils. N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe is also an agonist for the FPR (formyl peptide receptor 1) (Ki = 38 nM).
