Adaptive Evolution of Formyl Peptide Receptors in Mammals
Adaptive Evolution of Formyl Peptide Receptors in Mammals is a scholarly work by Laszlo Kohidai, published in 2015 in ''Journal of Molecular Evolution''. The main subjects of the publication include biology, antimicrobial peptide, molecular evolution, amino acid, gene family, gene duplication, signaling receptor, Directional selection, phylogenetic tree, gene, purifying selection, osteoclast, S-100 protein, adaptive evolution, Functional divergence, evolutionary biology, lineage, genetics, and phylogenetics. Phylogenetic analysis showed that an early duplication was responsible for FPR1 and FPR2/FPR3 splitting, and FPR3 originated from the latest duplication event near the origin of primates.
