Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Chemotactic peptide is a formylated tripeptide produced by some types of bacteria. The amino acid sequence is N-formylmethionine, leucine, phenylalanine. It is a potent inducer of leucocyte chemotaxis and is also a macrophage activator.[1]
