f-MKKFRW
f-MKKFRW is a selective mouse formyl peptide receptor 3 (Fpr3) activator and bacterial MgrB-derived peptide motif. f-MKKFRW activates Fpr3 to trigger downstream signaling and calcium responses in Fpr3-expressing cells. f-MKKFRW stimulates a subset of mouse vomeronasal sensory neurons in the accessory olfactory system to evoke calcium responses. f-MKKFRW drives innate avoidance behavior in mice via nasal contact.

-
Animal Model:C57BL/6N (B6) mice (male, 8-14 weeks old); ΔFpr3-lacZ +/+ mice; cGao +/- mice; Trpc2 +/- mice[1]
-
Dosage:50 μM; 100 μM
-
Administration:topical application to filter paper; single exposure
-
Result:Induced a mean avoidance index of -0.34 in B6 mice, indicating significant avoidance of the peptide-supplemented FEU compared to plain FEU. Showed absent avoidance in ΔFpr3-lacZ -/-, cGao -/-, and Trpc2 -/- mice.
Triggered avoidance behavior at the 50 μM dose.
