{"symbol":"FCGRT","synonyms":["FCRN","ALPHA-CHAIN"],"name":"Fc fragment of IgG, receptor, transporter, alpha","description":"This gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. The encoded protein transfers immunoglobulin G antibodies from mother to fetus across the placenta. This protein also binds immunoglobulin G to protect the antibody from degradation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
