| Research Abstract |
BLT2 is a receptor for LTB_4 and 12-HHT and expressed on the epithelium of skin and intestine. To clarify the role of BLT2 in these tissues, the models of inflammatory colitis, tumorigenesis in the colon, and skin wound healing were performed. It was revealed that BLT2 suppresses inflammatory colitis and tumorigenesis in the colon and promotes skin wound healing.
