a(CHEBI:"leukotriene B4") increases bp(GO:"neutrophil migration") View Subject | View Object

In fact, heme can induce neutrophil migration by acting as a chemotactic molecule (Porto et al., 2007) or by inducing the production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) by macrophages (Monteiro et al., 2011). PubMed:24904418

a(CHEBI:"leukotriene B4") increases bp(GO:"neutrophil migration") View Subject | View Object

As described before, LTB4 has an important function regulating heme-induced neutrophils migration (Monteiro et al., 2011). PubMed:24904418

a(CHEBI:"leukotriene B4") increases act(a(MESH:Leukocytes)) View Subject | View Object

KC (keratinocyte-derived chemokine) is a chemokine that attracts neutrophils to sites of inflammation and LTB4 is a lipid mediator that functions as a chemoattractant molecule and also activates leukocytes. PubMed:24904418
