Used as a potent agonist for formyl peptide receptors (FPRs), particularly FPR2 and FPR3, in immunological research. Enhances neutrophil activation, promoting chemotaxis, superoxide production, and degranulation, making it valuable for studying inflammatory responses and innate immunity. Applied in cell signaling studies to investigate G-protein coupled receptor pathways. Also utilized in research on tissue repair and host defense mechanisms due to its ability to modulate leukocyte functions. Commonly employed in in vitro models to mimic bacterial peptide-induced immune activation.
