Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIIa, receptor (CD16a)

This gene encodes a receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G, and it is involved in the removal of antigen-antibody complexes from the circulation, as well as other responses, including antibody dependent cellular mediated cytotoxicity and antibody dependent enhancement of virus infections. This gene (FCGR3A) is highly similar to another nearby gene (FCGR3B) located on chromosome 1. The receptor encoded by this gene is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells as an integral membrane glycoprotein anchored through a transmembrane peptide, whereas FCGR3B is expressed on polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) where the receptor is anchored through a phosphatidylinositol (PI) linkage. Mutations in this gene are associated with immunodeficiency 20, and have been linked to susceptibility to recurrent viral infections, susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, and alloimmune neonatal neutropenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIIb, receptor (CD16b)

The protein encoded by this gene is a low affinity receptor for the Fc region of gamma immunoglobulins (IgG). The encoded protein acts as a monomer and can bind either monomeric or aggregated IgG. This gene may function to capture immune complexes in the peripheral circulation. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A highly-similar gene encoding a related protein is also found on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Fc fragment of IgG, receptor, transporter, alpha

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. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Fc fragment of IgG binding protein pseudogene

Fc fragment of IgG, high affinity Ic, receptor (CD64), pseudogene

The gene represents one of three related immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor genes located on chromosome 1. This family member lacks the transmembrane and coiled-coiled domains found in other family members and is thought to be a pseudogene of Fc-gamma-receptor 1A. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Fc fragment of IgG, high affinity Ib, receptor (CD64)

Three distinct, but closely related classes of receptors that bind the Fc portion of IgG have been identified (Fcgamma RI, II and III). The FcgammaRI family consists of three closely related genes termed A, B, and C. This gene likely encodes a non-functional protein that is not detectable at the cell surface and binds ligand with low affinity. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2019]

Fc fragment of IgG, high affinity Ia, receptor (CD64)

This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the immune response. This protein is a high-affinity Fc-gamma receptor. The gene is one of three related gene family members located on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIb, receptor (CD32)

The protein encoded by this gene is a low affinity receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulin gamma complexes. The encoded protein is involved in the phagocytosis of immune complexes and in the regulation of antibody production by B-cells. Variations in this gene may increase susceptibilty to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIc, receptor for (CD32) (gene/pseudogene)

This gene encodes one of three members of a family of low-affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptors found on the surface of many immune response cells. The encoded protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein and may be involved in phagocytosis and clearing of immune complexes. An allelic polymorphism in this gene results in both coding and non-coding variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIa, receptor (CD32)

This gene encodes one member of a family of immunoglobulin Fc receptor genes found on the surface of many immune response cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface receptor found on phagocytic cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, and is involved in the process of phagocytosis and clearing of immune complexes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
