LTB4R2

A gene on chromosome 14q11.2-q12 that encodes a low-affinity G protein-coupled receptor for leukotrienes, including leukotriene B4. LTB4R mediates chemotaxis of granulocytes and macrophages by activating a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.

(66) 12-HHT was recently found to act on leukotriene [B.sub.4] type-2 receptor (BLT2) (69) and then to promote epidermal wound healing by accelerating keratinocyte migration.
It is also important to remember that 12-HHT is also produced by the TXS reaction as well as [TXA.sub.2], (66) and 12-HHT has the ability to promote epidermal wound healing by accelerating keratinocyte migration via BLT2. (69,70) TXS KO mice exhibited impaired re-epithelialization and delayed wound closure after skin punching.

The LTs exert their actions through interaction with specific 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled cell surface receptors, BLT1 and BLT2, representing the high and low-affinity receptor for LTB4, respectively, and CysLT1 receptor (CysLT1R) and CysLT2 receptor (CysLT2R) activated by the CysLTs [6, 7] plus a recently discovered LTE4-specific receptor known as CysLTER that was identified in [CysLT.sub.1]R/[CysLT.sub.2]R double-deficient mice [8].
