|
| Function |
Receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulins gamma. Low affinity receptor. Binds complexed or aggregated IgG and also monomeric IgG. Contrary to III-A, is not capable to mediate antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. May serve as a trap for immune complexes in the peripheral circulation which does not activate neutrophils.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted. Note=Secreted after cleavage.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed specifically by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils). Also expressed by stimulated eosinophils.
|
| Top Pathways |
Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Leishmaniasis, Phagosome, Staphylococcus aureus infection
