== Nomenclature note == Confusingly, there are two nomenclatures for FPR receptors and their genes, the first one used, FPR, FPR1, and FPR2 and its replacement (which corresponds directly to these three respective receptors and their genes), FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3. The latter nomenclature is recommended by the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology<ref name = "Ye_2009">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ye RD, Boulay F, Wang JM, Dahlgren C, Gerard C, Parmentier M, Serhan CN, Murphy PM | title = International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology.

Other previously used names for FPR1 are NFPR, and FMLPR; for FPR2 are FPRH1, FPRL1, RFP, LXA4R, ALXR, FPR2/ALX, HM63, FMLPX, and FPR2A; and for FPR3 are FPRH2, FPRL2, and FMLPY.<ref name = "Ye_2009"/>

== FPR3 function == The overall function of FPR3 is quite unclear. Compared to FPR1 and FPR2, FPR3 is highly phosphorylated (a signal for receptor inactivation and internalization) and more localized to small intracellular vesicles. This suggests that FPR3 rapidly internalizes after binding its ligands and thereby may serve as a "decoy" receptor to reduce the binding of its ligands to FRP1 and FRP2 receptors.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rabiet MJ, Macari L, Dahlgren C, Boulay F | title = N-formyl peptide receptor 3 (FPR3) departs from the homologous FPR2/ALX receptor with regard to the major processes governing chemoattractant receptor regulation, expression at the cell surface, and phosphorylation | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 286 | issue = 30 | pages = 26718–31 | date = Jul 2011 | pmid = 21543323 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M111.244590 | pmc=3143635| doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name = "Dorward_2015">{{cite journal | vauthors = Dorward DA, Lucas CD, Chapman GB, Haslett C, Dhaliwal K, Rossi AG | title = The Role of Formylated Peptides and Formyl Peptide Receptor 1 in Governing Neutrophil Function during Acute Inflammation | journal = The American Journal of Pathology | volume = 185 | issue = 5 | pages = 1172–1184 | date = May 2015 | pmid = 25791526 | doi = 10.1016/j.ajpath.2015.01.020 | pmc=4419282}}</ref>

=== Other species ===

FPR receptors are widely distributed throughout mammalian species with the FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3 paralogs, based on phylogenetic analysis, originating from a common ancestor and early duplication of FPR1 and FPR2/FPR3 splitting with FPR3 originating from the latest duplication event near the origin of primates.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Muto Y, Guindon S, Umemura T, Kőhidai L, Ueda H | title = Adaptive evolution of formyl peptide receptors in mammals | journal = Journal of Molecular Evolution | volume = 80 | issue = 2 | pages = 130–41 | date = Feb 2015 | pmid = 25627928 | doi = 10.1007/s00239-015-9666-z | bibcode = 2015JMolE..80..130M | s2cid = 14266716 }}</ref> Rabbits express an ortholog of FPR1 (78% amino acid sequence identity) with high binding affinity for FMLP; rats express an ortholog of FPR2 (74% amino acid sequence identity) with high affinity for lipoxin A4.<ref name = "Migeotte_2006"/>

== Ligands and potential ligand-based disease related activities ==

The functions of FPR3 and the few ligands which activate it have not been fully clarified. Despite its homology to FPR1, FPR3 is unresponsive to many FPR1-stimulating formyl peptides including FMLP. However, fMMYALF, a N-formyl hexapeptide derived from the mitochondrial protein, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6, is a weak agonist for FPR3 but >100-fold more potent in stimulating FPR1 and FPR2.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rabiet MJ, Huet E, Boulay F | title = Human mitochondria-derived N-formylated peptides are novel agonists equally active on FPR and FPRL1, while Listeria monocytogenes-derived peptides preferentially activate FPR | journal = European Journal of Immunology | volume = 35 | issue = 8 | pages = 2486–95 | date = Aug 2005 | pmid = 16025565 | doi = 10.1002/eji.200526338 | doi-access = free }}</ref> F2L is a naturally occurring acylated peptide derived from the N-terminal sequence of heme-binding protein 1 by cathepsin D cleavage that potently stimulates chemotaxis through FPR3 in monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Migeotte I, Riboldi E, Franssen JD, Grégoire F, Loison C, Wittamer V, Detheux M, Robberecht P, Costagliola S, Vassart G, Sozzani S, Parmentier M, Communi D | title = Identification and characterization of an endogenous chemotactic ligand specific for FPRL2 | journal = The Journal of Experimental Medicine | volume = 201 | issue = 1 | pages = 83–93 | date = Jan 2005 | pmid = 15623572 | doi = 10.1084/jem.20041277 | pmc=2212760}}</ref> F2L thereby may be a pro-inflammatory stimulus for FPR3.<ref name = "Dorward_2015"/> Similar to FPR2 (see FPR2 section), FPR3 is activated by humanin and thereby may be involved in inhibiting the inflammation occurring in and perhaps contributing to Alzheimer's disease.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Harada M, Habata Y, Hosoya M, Nishi K, Fujii R, Kobayashi M, Hinuma S | title = N-Formylated humanin activates both formyl peptide receptor-like 1 and 2 | journal = Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications | volume = 324 | issue = 1 | pages = 255–61 | date = Nov 2004 | pmid = 15465011 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbrc.2004.09.046 | bibcode = 2004BBRC..324..255H }}</ref>
