Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theMRGPRX2gene.[5][6]It is most abundant on cutaneous mast cells, sensory neurons, and keratinocytes.[7]

Activation of MRGPRX2 on mast cells leads to IgE-independenttype 1 hypersensitivity-like symptoms, also known aspseudoallergic reactions,although more rapid and brief. Medications identified to cause MRGPRX2 activation includingneuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA)(except forsuccinylcholine), antibiotics likeDNA gyrase inhibitorfluoroquinolonesor cell wall synthesis inhibitorvancomycin(which causedRed Man syndrome),icatibant,leuprolide,andmorphine.[7]
