GPR84 is an understudied Gi-coupled G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed on the surface of immune cells. Recently, the synthesis and discovery of chemical agonists and antagonists have begun to reveal the role of GPR84 in modulating the innate immune response in conditions such as fibrotic disorders and highlighted its potential as a drug target.
