FCAR - Fc alpha receptor Gene
Also Known as CD89; FcalphaR; FcalphaRI; CTB-61M7.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About FCAR
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 69 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Restricted expression toward bone marrow (RPKM 95.4).
Summary
This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and encodes a receptor for the Fc region of IgA. The receptor is a Transmembrane Glycoprotein present on the surface of myeloid lineage cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils, where it mediates immunologic responses to pathogens. It interacts with IgA-opsonized targets and triggers several immunologic defense processes, including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and stimulation of the release of inflammatory mediators. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
