Oxoeicosanoid Receptor Antibodies
OXER (Oxoeicosanoid Receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that primarily binds to 5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), a potent lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid. Activation of OXER1 leads to the mobilization and activation of immune cells, especially those involved in inflammatory responses. OXER is mainly expressed in myeloid lineage cells, including eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, and certain types of macrophages. It is also found in some epithelial and cancer cells, particularly in the prostate, lung, and colon. OXER is considered a promising pharmacological target due to its role in mediating inflammatory responses and its involvement in diseases such as asthma, allergic inflammation, and certain cancers.
