A D-methionine-containing peptide, Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met-NH(2) (WKYMVm), featuring a unique receptor specificity was investigated with respect to its ability to activate neutrophil effector functions. The peptide was found to be more potent than the N-formylated peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) at inducing neutrophil chemotaxis
