Function 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}.
Tissue Specificity Found on monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophil platelets.
Top Pathways Systemic lupus erythematosus, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, Leishmaniasis, Phagosome, Staphylococcus aureus infection
