Low Affinity Immunoglobulin Gamma Fc Region Receptor Ii-A (FCGR2A) Reagents

Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-a

Binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins gamma. Low affinity receptor. By binding to IgG it initiates cellular responses against pathogens and soluble antigens. Promotes phagocytosis of opsonized antigens.

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Found on monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophil platelets.

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.
