WKYMVm

WKYMVm is a selective formylpeptide receptor 2 (FPR2) agonist. WKYMVm has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect that can reduce lung injury and spinal cord injury. WKYMVm ameliorates obesity by regulating lipid metabolism and leptin signaling. WKYMVm is involved in the regulation of immune cells by activating FPRs. WKYMVm can promote the chemotactic migration of immune cells and inhibit the apoptosis of phagocytes. In addition, WKYMVm may play a favorable or unfavorable role in tumors, depending on the type of tumor[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
