fMLF is the prototypical representative of the ''N''-formylated ] family of chemotactic factors. These oligopeptides are known to be, or mimic the actions of, the ''N''-formyl oligopeptides that are (a) released by tissue bacteria, (b) attract and activate circulating blood leukocytes by binding to specific ]s on these cells, and (c) thereby direct the inflammatory response to sites of bacterial invasion. fMLF is involved in the ] mechanism for host defense against ]s. |

fMLF led to the first discovery of a leukocyte receptor for a chemotactic factor, defined three different types of fMLF receptors that have complementary and/or opposing effects on inflammatory responses as well as many other activities, and helped define the stimulus-response coupling mechanisms by which diverse chemotactic factors and their G protein coupled receptors induce cellular function. |

Follow-up studies found that the genes of mitochondria and chloroplasts organelles of ] cells, including those of humans, which, unlike nuclear genes, code for ''N''-formyl-methionine proteins, release ''N''-formyl-methionyl containing peptides with chemotactic activities that exactly mimic those of fMLF chemotaxis<ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Carp H | title = Mitochondrial N-formylmethionyl proteins as chemoattractants for neutrophils | journal = The Journal of Experimental Medicine | volume = 155 | issue = 1 | pages = 264–75 | date = Jan 1982 | pmid = 6274994 | doi=10.1084/jem.155.1.264 | pmc=2186576}}</ref> These organelle-derived formylated peptides are true analogs of fMLF that operate through fMLF receptors to recruit circulating blood leukocytes to and thereby initiate inflammation responses at sites of cell damage and tissue destruction not caused by bacteria.<ref name="pmid25791526">{{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 = 1172–84 | date = May 2015 | pmid = 25791526 | doi = 10.1016/j.ajpath.2015.01.020 | pmc=4419282}}</ref> Thus, fMLF can act as a ], released by dead or dying cells to attract ] to those cells, so that the phagocytes ] the dead or dying cells, thereby clearing up the damage.<ref name=":0" /> fMLF and other ''N''-formylated oligopeptides were found to be similarly active in human neutrophils.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = O'Flaherty JT, Kreutzer DL, Ward PA | title = Chemotactic factor influences on the aggregation, swelling, and foreign surface adhesiveness of human leukocytes | journal = The American Journal of Pathology | volume = 90 | issue = 3 | pages = 537–50 | date = Mar 1978 | pmid = 564610 | pmc=2018255}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lehmeyer JE, Snyderman R, Johnston RB | title = Stimulation of neutrophil oxidative metabolism by chemotactic peptides: influence of calcium ion concentration and cytochalasin B and comparison with stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate | journal = Blood | volume = 54 | issue = 1 | pages = 35–45 | date = Jul 1979 | doi = 10.1182/blood.V54.1.35.35 | pmid = 444673 | doi-access = free }}</ref> The high degree of structural specificity of a broad series of formylated peptides in stimulating these neutrophil responses, the specific binding of ''N''-formylated oligopeptides to neutrophils with affinities that paralleled their stimulating potencies,<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Aswanikumar S, Corcoran B, Schiffmann E, Day AR, Freer RJ, Showell HJ, Becker EL | title = Demonstration of a receptor on rabbit neutrophils for chemotactic peptides | journal = Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications | volume = 74 | issue = 2 | pages = 810–7 | date = Jan 1977 | pmid = 836328 | doi=10.1016/0006-291x(77)90375-8}}</ref> the ability of ''t''-carbobenzoxy-phenylalanyl-methionine to bind to but not stimulate neutrophils and thereby to block the neutrophil binding and stimulating activity of N-formylated oligopeptides,<ref>{{cite book | author1 = E.

The studies cited above lead to the eventual ] of the human ], a ] that binds fMLF and other formylated oligopeptides to mediate their stimulatory actions on human and rabbit neutrophils. Subsequently, ] and ] were also cloned based on the similarities in their amino acid sequence to that of formyl peptide receptor 1. Formyl peptide receptors 2 and 3 have very different abilities to bind and respond to formylated oligopeptides including fMLF compared to formyl peptide receptor 1 and compared to each other and have very different functions than those of formyl peptide receptor 1.<ref name="Li_2013">{{cite journal | vauthors = Li Y, Ye D | title = Molecular biology for formyl peptide receptors in human diseases | journal = Journal of Molecular Medicine | volume = 91 | issue = 7 | pages = 781–9 | date = Jul 2013 | pmid = 23404331 | doi = 10.1007/s00109-013-1005-5 | s2cid = 150459 }}</ref> |
