BLT1 is a Chemoattractant Receptor that binds the potent chemoattractant leukotriene B4 (LTB4) which is involved in defense against infection. Leukotriene B4 also activates the transcription factor PPAR alpha, resulting in the activation of genes that terminate inflammatory processes. Although BLT1 shows homology to other P2Y receptors, it does not function as a purinoreceptor. Part of the coding regions of BLTR2 (LS57180) have been duplicated and are part of the 5' UTR noncoding regions of the clusters BLT1 (LS190955) and CIDE-B (LS54843) on chromosome 14. BLTR1 has been reported in blood, bone marrow, brain, heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. In addition, BLTR1 has been shown to be highly expressed in leukocytes and lymphoid tissues such as spleen, thymus, and lymph node. ESTs have been isolated from B-cell/lung/testis, breast, colon, eye, kidney, skin, spleen, testis, and tonsil libraries.Synonyms: BLT, BLT1, CMKRL1, Chemoattractant receptor-like 1, G-protein coupled receptor 16, GPR16, LTB4-R 1, Leukotriene B4 receptor 1, P2RY7, P2Y purinoceptor 7, P2Y7
