The prototypical fMet-containing oligopeptide is N -formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) which activates leukocytes and other cell types by binding with these cells' formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) and formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) G protein coupled receptors (see also formyl peptide receptor 3 ).

TRNA3
Like us, they have no muramic acid in their cell walls and they use methionine as their initiator tRNA, whereas bacteria use Formylmethionine. (earthlife.net)
Translation begins with the codon AUG, and an initiator tRNA that carries the amino acid Methionine or, the chemically modified formylmethionine in bacteria. (jove.com)
Elongation starts when the first tRNA, carrying a formylmethionine amino acid, enters the P site and binds to the start codon. (osmosis.org)
In enzymology, a formylmethionine deformylase (EC 3.5.1.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction N-formyl-L-methionine + H2O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } formate + L-methionine Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-formyl-L-methionine and H2O, whereas its two products are formate and L-methionine.
