FPR2 promotes invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells and predicts the prognosis of patients

Abstract Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2), a classical chemoattractant receptor of G-protein-coupled receptors, is reported to be involved in invasion and metastasis of some cancers, but the role of FPR2 in gastric cancer (GC) has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that the levels of F...
