Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
EC 2.1.2.9; 10-formyltetrahydrofolate:L-methionyl-tRNA N-formyltransferase
In enzymology, a methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Formyl peptide receptor
CLASS OF G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS INVOLVED IN CHEMOTAXIS
Formyl peptide receptors; FPR1 (gene); Formyl peptide
The formyl peptide receptors (FPR) belong to a class of G protein-coupled receptors involved in chemotaxis. In humans, there are three formyl peptide receptor isoforms, each encoded by a separate gene that are named FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3.
N-formylmethionylaminoacyl-tRNA deformylase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
EC 3.5.1.27; N-formyl-L-methionylaminoacyl-tRNA amidohydrolase
In enzymology, a N-formylmethionylaminoacyl-tRNA deformylase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-Formylmethionine

N-Formylmethionine (fMet, HCO-Met, For-Met) is a derivative of the amino acid methionine in which a formyl group has been added to the amino group. It is specifically used for initiation of protein synthesis from bacterial and organellar genes, and may be removed post-translationally.
fMet plays a crucial part in the protein synthesis of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. It is not used in cytosolic protein synthesis of eukaryotes, where eukaryotic nuclear genes are translated. It is also not used by Archaea. In the human body, fMet is recognized by the immune system as foreign material, or as an alarm signal released by damaged cells, and stimulates the body to fight against potential infection.
