Mechanism Cellular Function Protectin
Efferocytosis Upregulate PD1, PD2, PCTR1-3, PD1n-3 DPA
Phagocytosis Upregulate PD1, PD2, PCTR1-3, PD1n-3 DPA
Bacterial clearance Enhance PD1, PCTR1-3
Neuroprotection Enhance PD1
Leukocyte infiltration Limit PD1, PD2, PCTR1-3, PD1n-3 DPA
NF-KB signaling Downregulate PD1
COX-2 activation Inhibition PD1
Pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines Downregulate PD1, PD1n-3 DPA
Inflammasome formation Downregulate PD1
T-cell migration Regulate PD1
