The lipoxin receptor ALX : potent ligand-specific and stereoselective actions in vivo / N. Chiang, C.N. Serhan, S.E. Dahlén, J.M. Drazen, D.W.P. Hay, G. Rovati, T. Shimizu, T. Yokomizo, C. Brink. - In: PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS. - ISSN 0031-6997. - 58:3(2006 Sep), pp. 463-487.
Abstract:
GPCR was initially referred to as the N-formylpeptide receptor-like 1. Although LXA(4) is the endogenous potent ligand for ALX activation, a number of peptides can also activate this receptor to stimulate calcium mobilization and chemotaxis in vitro. In contrast with LXA(4), the counterparts of many of these peptides in vivo remain to be established. The purpose of this review is to highlight the molecular characterization of the ALX receptor and provide an overview of the ALX-LXA(4) axis responsible for anti-inflammatory and proresolving signals in vivo. The information in this review provides further support for the initial nomenclature proposition for this GPCR as ALX
